I accidentally sliced my wrist open last night

BOY! I bet they thought you did it on purpose. Did they stick a shrink in your room to ask you weird questions?

I cut my finger down to the bone once, which looked pretty cool because it didn't bleed much either and I have a jagged scar from that. I also have a perfectly round scar on my thigh from a long branch that was on fire when I tried to reposition it in the pile after a hurricane. Right before it touch me my husband told me not to mess with it...but it was too late and I got an "I told you so" from that one.

Youch! Glad you missed everything important and don't have to have any surgeries or reconstructions. It's funny how things happen, and I know I've gone into the emergency room a couple of times and had people look at me like I was nuts when I explained what happened!

My favorite scar is from when I was younger. I was sneaking out of my house and jumped from my window onto the air conditioning unit. The unit chose that particular time to cut on and fling a piece of mulch up, which really did a number on my inner thigh. That sneaking out attempt ended with a tourniquet, a four hour wait at the ER, and a 6" scar. Not something I'd recommend to friends and family!

I have a couple of scars that I got (one on the back of each ankle) when I had some surgery at a young age, to lengthen my tendons.

My husband has scars from all kinds of interesting tings including getting bitten by a rattle snake, and something that almost happened to him in Viet Nam.

Oh my LORD! I'm glad you're ok! YIKES!!!

I have a few scars...my c-section scars (the bittersweet cuts that they are), a few on my wrist from surgery, knee surgery scars, gallbladder out scars and my crowning glory scar, about 10 inches long down the outside of my left lower leg...had a bone tumor removed when I was 17, so I'm missing most of my fibula...another somewhat unnecessary body part... its only used at the knee joint and ankle joint, but the part in between is non-weightbearing...so it doesn't make a darned bit of difference.

It makes my stomach ache while reading your post.I have fear in blood, so while reading it i began imagining what happens to you. Me, i have also a scars here in the left side of my forehead. My parents says that i got that when i was playing when i was young and I accidentally fell on a large cement causing my forehead to break a little. My mother said that it has many blood so she panicked and we went to a nearby hospital for stiches. Until now the scar is so visible that i have to hide it with a hair bangs. To glad it became small.

Oh my goodness, that's terrible...well even it didn't bleed much it sure must have hurt like hell...how does it feel now? Oh, I have a lovely scar too...This was years and years ago, maybe thirty?? I was trying to separate frozen hamburgers with a really nice, long sharp knife.....oops...slipped and jabbed the knife right into the fleshy part of my left hand and yes it went in pretty deep, but I didn't race to the docs or ER...just did a really good bandage job of it but I still have that lovely scar

ouchhh... that sounds really scary... i'm glad that nothing serious happened to you and you are alright... well, i also have couple of cut scars that i accidentally get in my hands, chicken pox mark as well on my leg and couple of other scars... please be more careful in the future and take care...

Wow! What a close call! I'm glad to read you're okay though.:)

I don't have too many scars, but some have better stories than others. There's the c-section scar from my twins' birth, and two little ones from my tubal ligation. There's also a belly button scar from my belly button ring that came out:(. One of these days I'll get it redone though, because I really miss it. Then there's one on my left palm... a tiny little "loser scar" as I call it. It is in the shape of an "L", for "loser", so it's perfect... especially considering I got it while very drunk in my teens. The only other major one I can think of is on my left knee... wipeout in grade 3 on the playground at school. That one took forever to heal!

Oooohhhh... .good point on the "paid scar"... I have one of those too... in the middle of my back. A celtic cross with claddagh. There's a pic of it in my photos.

I am so sorry to hear about this. I hope that you will be okay. I have never experienced this before, but I do know that getting any kinds of cuts is very scary.. Please be very careful...
