Manly scars and wounds
Discussion
Following the manly kit thread I thought I would start a thread on something all real men should have; impressive scars and/or wounds.
To start, I have just had an operation on a repeat dislocating shoulder.

and the wire you can see in the first one is a used to drain blood from the wound into a bottle, like so..

Sadly I have no major scars but my fingers do look like a road map with the amout of scar tissue lines running across them.
Spanner rash is manly!
Just counted and yesterday & today I have accumulated 11 bleeding wounds on my hands, plus some Hammerite splashes and diff oil under my nails.

After many years of doing the same I made a miraculous discovery, they call them gloves. Spanner rash is manly!

Get mine from work, nice tight fit so you've still got plenty of feel, also saves having to scrub your hands with all manner of substances.
Pah!
Operations get sewn up nicely. For a properly manly scar you need a stab wound.
And yes - I have one on my back. I was seventeen at the time, it was done with a rusty blade and festered. By the time the docs got it sorted out I'd lost a chunk of flesh the size of your thumb.
They tried sewing up the mess - but it didn't take. Ended up letting it heal "open".
Left a cracking scar that did. You can still see it twenty five years later.

k me that hurt.My staples were taken out with a plastic "hook" ended tool and my mum's were just last week too.
As for ops and scars I've had a few and have the scars although thankfully they're very "discrete".
The worst one was having my face peeled down from the middle of my skull down to my nose. My forehead was then remodelled and titanium plates bolted in and stapled back up from ear to ear.
Also had my jaw, chin and nose done but they were all from inside.
That lot took some balls.

I have an axe wound...not that type!! 
really i have, about an inch long on the side of my finger where i hit it with a splitting axe after glancing off a piece of wood.
I have one about 3 inches long on the back of my leg where i came off my bike and the cogs stuck in my leg (that heeled quite well and can barely see it)
one on my knee about 1.5 x the size of a penny, came off bike again.
3 on my fingers off my knife, all went to the bone but heeled well.
one on my face the size of a drawing pin head, where a rock hit me.
one on my chest where i was stabbed with a small pen knife while playing a game with friends.
dent in my skull and scar on scalp where a monitor was, my mother had a complicated birth with me aparently.
Plus lots and lots of small scars off random things cant remember them all.
ETA: several on my lungs as i had pneumonia twice when i was young, these ones stopped me from joining the RAF, the only career path I wanted to take.

as well as those i have these..
heres the story..
about 2 years ago im driving home around 10pm from football, through a 40 on the way into louth theres a blind crest (from both directions) with a right hand bend at the crest, i take said crest at about 35 (easy as) to find something flat out, lights on full beam and on my side of the road, split second decision either to avoid said car or head for wall on side of the road, i decide to try and get as far over as i can and hope for the best, said car clips me, sends me sideways where my car(r reg civic) clips nearside kerb and belts me sideways opposite way, tried to hold it but nearside rear wheel is buckled in and the car decides to roll, rolls twice (by this point im over the hill going downhill) before my seatbelt comes undone and decides to eject my upper body through the passenger windowand the car rolls twicw more before landing on the passenger side and scraping down the road for some 50m with my upper body between the car and road, car rolls once more and comes to a complete stop.
i swing my legs out of the car (still concious) and walk off the road and calmy knock on someones door, the women that answered it nearly fainted and got me a towl and sat me a against a lampost and rang the ambulance, police and my other half.
the misses turns up and im sat there talking to her like nothings happened!!
its only when i get to grimsby a&e that i realise the extent of my injuries.
my right ear is no more, the right side of my face is ground away and the top of my back(especially on the right side) is skinless.
24hrs later they have reconstructed my era from its remains, de-burred my back and stichthed my face up.
the other car never stopped, my insurance paid out on my car but the motor insurance beurau decided that they would not pay out for my injuries because there were no witnesses, this was after the police coming out and investigating and clearing me of all wrong doing.
also took most of the skin off the right side of my back and shoulder, but couldnt get pics of that!!

Does your face still retain all the original feelings or does it sometimes feel a bit weird?
Reason I ask is I was talking to someone who had a similar op and she said that sometimes it doesnt feel like her face strangely enough....
Anyways you are a braver person than me to have that lot done to ya
I currently have:
ETA: At the time of writing there are currently 7 cuts on my left hand and 10 on my right, don't you just love changing clutches?
- Hernia (SP) scar from when I was 1.
- 2 dips in my shin where I smacked them on a motorbike peg.
- Scar in my armpit where a 6 inch nail went in.
- Lighter 'smiley' on my arm.
- What I can only describe as a 'thing' on the end of my left index finger where I chopped the end off it and stuck it back on. You can see the chuck that was taken off and has grown back on. Its completely dead.
- Over sensative right finger tip with a chunk missing where I caught it in a fan.
- Chunk missing out my left hand where I angle grinded it.
- A million and one cuts on my hands.
- CV grease all over my hands and under my nails (hoping this washes off soon =\)

A few nice ones there, the staples come out easier than stitches, had 11 out of the top of my melon last year.
Here's the best I can do, a rotary hacksaw blade in a 4" angle grinder.
I was sitting cross legged on the ground when it jammed in the job and kicked, skimmed up my right leg leaving circular burns, sliced my left arm and finished up on the ground behind me screaming at 10,000RPM.
The cut was around 25mm deep in places and fortunately missed everything.
After 40 odd years of men's cricket my first thought was that this has stuffed my career, happened on a Tuesday so I fielded at fine leg on Saturday and opened the bowling the following weekend.
This should make it obvious I'm right handed

About a year ago, I was angle grinding some stuff on the fastback (above my head, like an idiot) and was daydreaming when the thing caught on something, spun off and got wrapped up in the top of my jumper, spinning violently at 5000rpm all the time carving into my neck and chin ...
Not nice.
One year on ... healed nicely but a whacking great scar.
