    Like others, I have multiples.

    First scar at 5 weeks old from surgery on pyloric stenosis.

    A scar on my elbow from taking a corner too quick on a gravel drive with my bike.

    A scar on my left knee from learning how to bike on a gravel drive.

    A few self inflicted scars on my left wrist and hand for reasons I still don't know myself.

    Nearly lost the tip of my left index finger when pushing wood through a table saw with a guide. That one hurt, but at least I still have most of the fingertip.

    A scar on my hand from digging around in the dirt and encountering a piece of glass underneath the surface.

    A scar on my back when I had a mole removed for a biopsy (negative for melanoma).

    Multiple scars on my head (you can't see them as they're underneath my hair) from being spatially unaware as both a child and adult.

    A triangular shaped scar on my left forearm from the corner of a fresh-out-of-the-oven cookie sheet.

    I'm honestly surprised I don't have more. I am a total klutz, and don't practise the best safety habits when using power tools. It didn't leave a scar, but I fell off a ladder holding a running chainsaw when cutting down a tree limb a few years back. Ended up with a partially torn rotator cuff that still bugs me to this day.
