All of my scars are surgical.

This ranks up there with "electric shock from Alfredo sauce" on the WTFery scale.

All of my scars are surgical.

None of my scars are surgical!

I had an eye-shaped scar on my left arm from when I tried to make oatmeal for myself in 2nd grade and burnt myself with the steam instead. It faded after15-20 years, I guess. Can't find it now.

I do have a dent in my foot from where a catfish whisker stuck me, but you have to know it's there to see it.

The two surgeries I've had have left noticeable scars, but other than that the only ones with any staying power have been from the fall where I sheared all the skin off my knee a few years ago (palm scars from that same incident have disappeared) and, weirdly, from a batik wax spill on my hand back in HS. Which has somehow lasted longer than the 2nd degree burn scars from a bunsen burner prank in college where I yanked my arm back through a meter-high column of flame.

The alfredo sauce story: I was in college. I heated up some frozen fettuccine alfredo in my microwave. As I was taking it out of the microwave, my hand slipped and I lost my grip on the plastic tray thing, and it all went tumbling to the floor. I sighed, grabbed some paper towels, and started to clean it up. Or, at least, I tried to, because the second my hand with the towels hit the puddle of sauce and noodles, I felt a zappy burning in my hand. When I pulled my hand back, there was a zig-zag red mark across my palm. I looked more closely, and I realized that the puddle of sauce had spread over an empty outlet on an extension cord, and the sauce had conducted the electricity through the puddle and into my hand.

Since I'm writing about her at the moment, I will note that Tammy Wynette had 26 major surgeries during her life.

Twenty-six! That shit's bananas.

Worst pain besides migraines may have been the anaesthesia for having my broken toe set. I should've just had them do it without numbing it, because the needles hurt like hell. Never having needles in my foot again (though the fact that it already hurt probably didn't help).

Not sure I have much in the way of visible scars though...broken bones, yes, but...

Hil, that is also shit-bananas WTFish.

But I expect no less from you.

I wonder how that compares to Liz Taylor, who also has quite the close relationship with hospitals.
