1. My biggest is a scar from collar bone surgery after it broke into three pieces on a bike ride in the college. I still have the metal plate holding it together
2. Two on my achilles tendons because I walked on my toes for my entire childhood, so they needed to be surgically lengthened when I was nine.
3. Several on my face from when I was hit by a car while on a bike ride.
4. One on my outer wrist from riding too closely past a branch while on a 100 mile bike ride
And I have several more from either crashing my bike or being clumsy. I don't do bike racing anymore lol.
hoahoahottie I have my suspicions that I walked on my toes because of sensory issues and that doctors exaggerated the danger of not doing the surgery...but I digress.
mom was using a machete to clear the tall weeds in our yard at our new house in Thailand. i walked up behind her to ask a question and got caught in her backswing. i clutched my elbow and saw a dark red streak go down my arm. it was so deep you could see ligaments and fat tissue. we had to drive 45 mins into town to get stitches and tetanus shot but at least i got out of yard work for the day. lucius is so jealous of this scar lmao
i also have a scar on my leg from a lipoma (benign fat tumor) that needed removal in high school. and a huge scar from surgery to repair my broken collarbone from the seatbelt that saved me from dying in a horrible accident in college. i have metal plates and screws holding me together. and a few scars on my hands and wrists from the broken windshield glass.
- a scar on my forehead right below my hairline from jumping off of the dining table and hitting my head on the back of a couch as a toddler
- a scar on my chin from kindergarten when i leaned over to reach for something on a shelf and got scraped by a pair of scissors that someone left open with the blades facing up
- a bump on my lip from when i tried to do an ollie on a skateboard and kicked the board right into my face, splitting my lip almost up to my nostril.
- a scar on my jawline from a cyst i had to get removed
- assorted nodular acne scars
And now I have a crescent shaped scar on my ankle!
Also have a big one on my knee from falling down on the street in roller blades after I said I knew how to roller blade
Poetically, this was going to be the last date before I delete Hinge and take a break for a few months.

On the bright side, I did get to see this bathroom with two stand mixers and a printer in it
