When i was five i almost had my foot ripped off. I was in a child seat on the back of a ten speed and i let my leg hang down into the spokes. Luckily i didn't seven my tendon so i can still use my foot fine heh.. I had to have a skin graft from my hip though and a couple other surgeries. It wasn't much fun. I also had stiches in my chin one time when i was a kiddo from running in a pet store. I tripped and hit an aquarium edge. Most recently was when i had my son.. :(((((( ow

I was always afraid that I would need a c-section, I have heard it is painful.

I have had multiple surgeries on my knee so I had stitches from those. Had surgery on my back and had dissolvable ones. Then Emergency surgery on my head...stitches, glue, and staples for that one. And got ripped when I had my daughter so dissolvable stitches then too. Way too many to count
