Chin - went over handlebars on my bike after braking too hard coming down the hill. Needed stitches

TwoHeadedYellowBelliedHoleDig · 21/02/2020 13:41

Thumb - from exploding when smashed between two hockey sticks. Then went to the medical room where the teacher put it in a sink of cold water and me, and the boy who was already in the medical room for another reason, promptly passed out as the entire sinkful of water turned red.

Also have a dodgy thumb/thumb nail after slamming it in the front door. My mum refused the thumb amputation that was suggested, thank goodness!

Scar across the palm of my hand from falling onto broken glass that had been buried under the sand on Bournemouth beach aged about 6.

Just the one?!

Forehead - dent from chicken pox scab
Top lip - face first into the pavement resulting in split lip and loose teeth. I was just walking, don't even remember tripping over anything Blush
Knee - split open after tripping while running on a canal towpath. My mum was pleased that there was no hole in my trousers (never mind the gaping big one in my knee, Mum Hmm)
Palm of my hand - hand through a plate glass door during a fight with my sister

Scar on left cheek from falling off a wobbly stool at 4 - onto a glass dog bowl - quite a few stitches.

Chin, from falling in to a white picket low fence thing at a golf course

Knees from falling off my brothers skateboard

Forehead from a comedy fall over a wall which had a much bigger drop on the other side (mother didn’t think this was so funny mind when I had to get stitches)

Lower back - little sister gouged me with her nails while chasing me up the garden.
Hand - a 'friend' whacked me with the side of a ruler.
Knees - lots of falling over!
Shoulder (big one) - went over the handlebars of my bike onto concrete and took all the skin off.

Scar on a finger from burning plastic sticking to my skin

Left arm, from being bitten by a dog while I was playing out. Happened 30 years ago and they're still really visible. Been offered plastic surgery but tbh I don't actually mind them.
