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.

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.

here's the story , so basically i was learning to ride a scooter and after practicing in a big empty space, i thought yep i'm a pro now it's easy taffic? highways? it's nothing, BUT the god said nahhh girl you need more practice.
long story short i had a small incident where i didn't just get a scratch on my elbow but also on my knee. The knee one healed, but the massive scatch on my elbow it left a huge very visible scar. so now I HAVE A PERMANENT REMINDER OF MY OVERCONFIDENCE.

I scratched my right upper arm down the side of the wing extension of the stage (basically painted panels) and I still had to act dead (final battle in Les mis, I was a student among other things) so I lay there with my arm potentially bleeding and then I finished the last 20 minutes of the show. I checked my arm and by golly there was a large skin ripped scar down my arm (slight bleeding) which I had to deal with for the next 3 shows (yes ik torture, well so was my shower that night). Now I have a nice little scratch down the side of my arm (which looks pretty badass tbh) which will hopefully leave a permanent scar (weird request ik but I loved and breathed that show for months and now it’s been a few days since closing night and now I miss it)
Anyway that’s the story of one of my many many scars and my most recent
Have a lovely day <3
