Not the best..........
But I've recently found I've lost feeling in the skin of my left hand*, a little all over, but completely on the skin of my finger joints. I discovered this after neatly removing the skin from my left ring finger second knuckle with an extremely sharp pair of scissors.

Only noticed when a colleague fainted and I went to help her. I covered her blouse (and a bit of her face)with blood from my hand, which alerted me to my injury. Unfortunately it meant that, when she woke, she saw herself covered in blood..................and promptly fainted again.

When the paramedics arrived they saw a burly guy with a very bloody left hand, standing over a slightly-built woman with a blood-spattered face and blouse.


Oh, how we laughed!**





*This is actually a good thing as it has alerted me to the possibility that the spinal surgery I had last year may have become unstable. MRI in the next week or so should confirm/deny.



**(Once I'd explained the circumstances to the two coppers that the paramedics called.)

To date:
Left shoulderblade.
Right shoulderblade.
Left thigh, just above the knee, accompanied by a burning sensation. The entire front of the thigh goes if I stand up for too long.

When I asked the question I was told that the cure would be worse than the cause.

Edit: sounds like silly "my scars are worse than yours" posturing, this does. Maybe a cool scars QOTW is in order?

Hell yeah!
The ACDF one on the front of my neck is well hidden but it's a great talking point!
I have been asked "How I got it" on several occasions.

"Post Mortem" is generally my response.

Bullet wound.
Small round crater of a scar just beside the spine on my upper back. I tell anyone who chances to see it that it's a bullet wound.

Both my big toes
are partially numb thanks to climbing.

I haven't taken a pair of scissors to them yet though.
