I have many scars that I am not ashamed of and make no attempt to hide over my body. They are the record of my battles and how I've triumphed over adversity in life. The body part with the most scars is my left knee with 71.
On November 8, 2007, I woke up during what was supposed to be a 'routine' arthroscopic surgery. It was hell on Earth, and I had a very difficult time healing from it mentally and physically. Six months later I needed another surgery on the knee to correct what wasn't corrected while I lay awake during the first surgery. I STILL didn't heal correctly. So 10 months after that I had ANOTHER surgery. That one involved opening my whole knee and resetting a surgically broken bone. The first two surgeries resulted in 3 tiny scars apiece, perhaps 1/2 an inch wide? Anywho....that last surgery left me with one 6 inch scar running up the center of my knee cap, and 64 tiny scars from 32 staples.
