Ew!That sounds pretty nasty too. When my 'incident' happened I also had a semi-detached retina and blood in my other eye, so couldn't speak or see to get help. I literally crawled to my neighbours. Thank god they were home; I'd lost so much blood I had to replace the carpet.

I suppose I was luckyconsidering where it could have ended. I'm still as good as blind in one eye, but that saves me a fortune in watching 3D films. No scars though, although my jaw aches in cold weather.

I have a couple of dents in my skull from surgery too.... From where they bolted my heat to the table as they removed the bone covering the spinal cord c5/c6/c7, moved the cord 'out of the way' while they chiselled off the bony growth that was crushing the aforementioned spinal cord. A bit of fettling to the removed bone, wire it back in place - semi wake the patient (me) before closing up to see if I could still move my arms and bob's you uncle! By the way, the growth was from previous surgery to fuse c5/c6/c7 as the discs were, to quote the surgeon 'buggered beyond repair'. That time they went in from the front of my neck. 22 clips to hold the wound shut too.
TL;DR
I have some great scars on my neck.
