It was Friday the 13th, I was wearing a Dan Marino Dolphins Jersey (#13)...
...8th grade, First week of school. Gym class. The stage was set: Playing "Everybody's It" (Where you tag anyone/everyone and you sit in the spot you got tagged) on the newly waxed gym floor. The game boils down to me and one other kid. I'm weavin, I'm bobbin, I'm driftin around people like an Rx7 in E-Town.....when alluva sudden, as I am turning to avoid capture....New Nike's slip out from under me (damn 2" of wax)....BAM!
....so he tags me as I fell...I lean over to get up..."whoa my arm just bent in half between my elbow and my wrist"...but I black out for a sec, shake my head...and think nothing of it and go to get up when I notice my left arm limping, broke both bones that run from your wrist to your elbow.
Needless to say the coach of my class didn't believe it so I had to basically hold my arm together (well straight) and walk to the nurses office.
8 weeks with a mold cast and 2 pins in my arm/hand. Then 6 weeks (I think) of a normal cast. This was when N64 just came out, so I was lucky I could still hold the controller at an angle to play Mario 64 all morning (good times...good times...)
That's it....well...except for the experiment they ran on me...they tried replacing my bones with Adamantium...I can't quite remember what happend....

When I was young I got ecoli (sp) and almost died. I had 6 different sets of stitches in my head from jumping on the bed. Two of those times were in the exact same spot. I bumped my head on the faucet in the bath when I was little and developed a hemotoba and had surgery on the back of my head. When I skated I tore all the ligaments and tendons in my right ankle.

Wow, if went individual scars I could be here all day.
Surgeries, when I was 9 I had a hernia operation, 4 inch scar on left side below waste line.
A few years ago I had a kidney biopsy, 6 or 7 inch scar on right side of lower back.
Cut and had stitches in my right pointer finger 3 times, my thumb twice, left pointer once and crushed a knuckle on the my right hand, finger next to the pinky.
I think as far as stiches go that about does it.

Ok ok I got the best, but its not really a scar...emotional scar maybe. Shouldn't even be mentioning it but here goes. About a month back I got a clogged vain that wrapped about 3/4 around my "love stick", just below the head. Aparantly this isn't that odd of a thing and it eventually worked itself out after a few weeks. Felt like I had a chord under the skin that you could literally grab and move around.
