Yep heart op at 18 months old

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 😊

@Patientlywaiting I guess that was a downside of NHS, in my ER, I would never suture facial injuries, particularly on females, I would demand plastic surgery, and then, not an inexperienced resident.

@samueltyler2 It's a down side I suppose but free for everyone so can't complain and the nurse did a brilliant job. They never get the recognition they deserve.
Matt85 · 36-40, M
Yes. Sorry to hear that.
samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
I was mugged and sustained a scalp laceration. I was left by with a cowlick.
samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
@Patientlywaiting and the police really did what they said.

Any plans for the weekend?
Patientlywaiting · 46-50, FVIP
@samueltyler2 No, just a quiet one. 😊
samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
@Patientlywaiting will you have "couple time?"
Fullmetal · 46-50, M
Many times!!!! Anywhere from 4 to 75!
samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
@Fullmetal are you accident prone?
Fullmetal · 46-50, M
@Fullmetal no, life's been tough....
Thevy29 · 41-45, M
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.
Barny52 · 56-60, M
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. 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.
Crazywaterspring · 61-69, M
The urologist did a great job.
samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
@Crazywaterspring externally, I hope nothing too serious.
Crazywaterspring · 61-69, M
@samueltyler2 Vasectomy. Highly recommended, no regrets at all.
samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
@Crazywaterspring they used sutures? I had glue. Yes, no regrets. The first few days walking around with nothing on below my waist as it healed was off, but not painful.

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 many times.
Pretzel · 61-69, M
several times.
Sjones13 · 41-45, M
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.
DDonde · 31-35, M
Yeah on my chin when I was like 12. There's a tiny patch there still where my beard doesn't grow
