Oh man, where do I begin? I've had hundreds of stitches.
1964: banged head as a toddler. 5 stitches
1971: banged head riding furniture dolley down driveway. 20 stitches
1972: rt foot, big toe sewed back on, scars all over my foot, stupid kid accident. 400+ stitches
1976: rt heel, stepped on glass. 25 stitches
1982: rt hand, drunken prank gone awry in college. 10 stitches
1986: rt thigh, nasty bug bite that got infected in the Army and had to be cut open by a medic, cleaned out and stitched up. 3 stitches
1994: face below my right eye, tractor accident, damn near killed myself: 50 stitches
Makes a grand total of about 513 stitches from accidents. I've got a lot of other scars that didn't require medical attention so they don't count. Then there's the scar from a tatoo I had removed on my right shoulder.
Edited year of first scar, I know I was a year old when that happened, at least that's what my Mom told me.
