Show Us Your Scars

BringMeMyFix [quote]RPM I have a 10 inch long scar running from waist to groin, which I ain't taking pictures of my rude bits!

from an mtb accident where I got a massive haematoma.

7 nights in hospital
3 blood transfusions
operation to remove 1 1/2 litres of congealed blood
2 drain tubes in my side for 5 days attached to two bottles
left leg swelled to twice normal size
groin, lower back and legs solidly purple with bruising
cant remember how many stitches

6 weeks off work (I took 3) unpaid, uninsured.

2 follow up clinics

permanently numb left flank ( the bit on the upper thigh/hip) For the rest of my life.

I don't subscribe to the "scars are cool" thing any more, sorry.

You'd think scars were cool if you'd ever lived through self-harming with a kitchen utensil under the influence of alcohol, instead of some pissy little mtb accident :-p[/quote]
