owies, hey?? well, lets start with the involuntary ones (only the bad ones...i\'ve had plenty that drew b;ad but healed up within a few weeks and left very little scarring)
when i was 2, i had my grandmother accidentally go over my left hand with an iron...3rd degree burns acorss the back of all my fingers. i still have the scars, and no sensation through that area
about 5 years ago now, i managed to lodge a nail backwards through my hand (fell of a dodgily made jetty...i dunno how the nail got there tho). the head (which has the bit stuck in my hand) was almost a centimetre across, and some bastard tried to pull it out with a pair of pliers...it didn\'t actually hurt up to that point...
about 3 years ago, i dropped a heavy glass bowl on my foot. it severed the tendon to my big toe fairly neatly. fortunately when i went to the hospital, i had my mother (a vet) with me to tell the doctor that it was severed...cos they couldn\'t find the damn thing. thanks to her, i can walk without a limp
and most recently, i\'ve discovered i have gall stones. the first indicator was me being in so much pain i couldn\'t stand, and hurling abuse at the world in general. the second was the ultrasound which said i have 2 of \'em, both an inch across. so in a few months, i\'ll have surgery to get rid of the whole damn thing (whoo, nineteen and going to get my gall bladder out!!)
as for the optional stuff...one tattoo, and off to get another in a few days
. love tats. pity i can\'t afford more
