I Have a Scar
I have one scar of which I am particularly proud:
(a) A 2-3 inch scar down the bottom part of my thumb and across the bottom of my palm.
It was an injury from doing DIY; well actually I did it with a pair of scissors opening the flatpack, before I was anywhere near DIY really. It was a deep gash and there was quickly blood everywhere.
At the time it happened a friend was due to come and pick me in half an hour, as we were intending to go off out for a pizza. I phoned her and asked to pick me up NOW and told her that we will be heading for A&E, not Pizza Hut!!
I wrapped a white towel around my hand and sat in her car holding my arm up in the air. I will never forget her look of sheer panic when, half way to A&E, she looked across at my hand and saw that the white towel was now virtually red all over. I was not exactly happy seeing it myself!!
What frightens me now is how close I had been to slashing my wrist.
