When I was 20, out of the blue, I started having seizures. (Epilepsy which stopped as bizarrely as it started) On one occasion I hit my head on a door frame as I fell and split my face open which led to me getting nine stitches in my face. I was freaking out "I'm going to look like Frankenstein's sister!!" and (because it was my face, the doctor got a nurse from the childrens ward - apparently because she was the best and neatest at stitches not because she was used to small children who created a massive fuss lol although I suspect it might have been the latter. I thought it was really lovely they did that either way. I barely have any sign of the scar now 😊

Yes. Sorry to hear that.

Many times!!!! Anywhere from 4 to 75!

I was mugged and sustained a scalp laceration. I was left by with a cowlick.

Yep. A number of times. Once on a hiking camp I had to stitch myself. Luckily it was only four and then I put duct tape over it. Probably should have just done the Duct tape, but I was 13 and didn't know better.

Yes. After I had my baby...in a VERY uncomfortable place...then when I had surgery...once in my belly button and another slice up higher, and again in my shoulder.

The urologist did a great job.

A few times but once just used tape on a nasty cut running down my thumb, closed the wound up but didn’t know I had cut ligaments inside, struggled with that later !

Yes, for several surgical procedures.

Yes lots of them over the years. No need for tattoo's.lol

Fortunately only on a few rare occasions. A few years ago right at Thanksgiving I was cutting firewood and got hit in the face with a limb and needed my lip sewed up. Before that, I had a cyst taken off my shoulder back in the 80's. Before that I was in a car wreck in the early 70's. I'm sure there's been another time or two I probably "needed" stitches but I didn't bother to go to the Dr.

Yes, after two surgeries...(tummy, and my nose.)

A couple of times

Only from my biopsies

Yes.

Yeah

Yes. Several times. First as an infant when I bounced out of the cradle and in my college years diving too deep into the pool

Lots of them, along with a few staples

Yes, surgical, and trauma.

A few times. Nothing too major.

Not only did I need them , I got them....unless I had some steristrips handy

Only from surgery.

Yup, and staples as well.

Twice in my life in the same spot lol my chin.

Yes many times.

Three times.

several times.

Thankfully no

Yes

Yes a couple times. The last ones were the worst.

No

Yeah, cracked my forehead open and turned into a wizard

no strangely enough 🤔

Yeah on my chin when I was like 12. There's a tiny patch there still where my beard doesn't grow

Yep.

Yes

128 internal + 16 Surgical staplers

Punctured Lung
3 broken ribs
splenectomy

Twice.
Once in my knee, but most of them were inside, i took a chunk out of it so deep i could see the fat cells in my flesh and the white bone at the bottom of the gash. But weirdly, it didn't hurt or bleed ....it was just deep and fascinating .
Second time when i went batshit nutz and kicked the shit out of a window with only ballet flats on....REALLY stupid thing to do, lots of stiches there. Enough that the doctor managed to tell me half his lifes story in the process.

After that, i bought my own surgical tape....jic.

Yes to close my butthole open
