Except for the ones and twos. I've have 20 in my leg from a bicycle wreck

Without getting gross, or too long of explanation who has the most?

Went through the windshield of a 71 RR. 107 in my noggin.

I have some skin staplers in my house and hunting cabin in case I have to do emergency surgery on myself. they work great on rubber striper baits too!

OK, you win but need to see photos "or it didn't happen". :D




BTW, which way were you going when you went through that windshield? Inside out?, or Outside In?...:poke:
 
Frankenstein would win...

Most I ever had at one time was 33 in my forehead, massive concussion
from falling, with my hands full & hitting my melon on a slippery floor,
way back when I was in HS, working for a Elementary school in the summer,
striping floors...
 
I've had many over the years but once I had a bumper jack go clean thru my hand and then tear my finger off. Don't know how many stitches it took to put my hand back together but I did buy a floor jack after that.
 
Almost 300 here with head, knee, apendicitus, 2 REVERSE VACETOMIES (what the hell was I thinking!) hand injuries from a sharp knife and having an ear sewn back on. I feel like an abused child in a sad movie! Lots of other gashes, burns and cuts working in sheet metal shops that didn't get "fixed"....I DO look like a patchwork quilt!
 
Holy cow that's a nasty one Mopar&Missiles, dare I ask what happened? I may be up to 25 or so, about 15 in the leg where I got implaled and ripped open by a rusty bolt as I ran past an old trailor trying to put out a fire, a few more in my forarm from a router chucking a thin washer, a few more from leaning into the run lever of a Cincinnati Lathe (hate those things) and the last from metal shavings getting wrapped in the chuck of a lathe and being dragged straight threw leather gloves. I'd have a few more if super glue counted haha.

Nooooooooo...... :toothy9:
 
I'm talking about my beard. Geez, I'd expect that, only from RC.
 
15 last year @ about $300 a stitch. Total about 50 but really have lost count.
 
After a small skateboard incident a few years back...

Hmmm. let's see. Right knee cap torn wide open in '67 ( 32). Bone cyst removal from top of left foot in '71( 9), left elbow torn open '76 (8), stabbed in back in combat '09 ( 4), total dislocation of right foot '13 (16), Mashed left middle finger tip '05 ( 7). That's 76. I did not think I had that many, funny.

Been down that road several times in the past couple of years. It sucks.

Lost count of most of em and didn't think I had that many but after thinking about it, there's been quite a few. I crashed a bicycle too while in the military and it messed up the entire left side of my face from about the middle on over. Even my left ear was scabbed over. Got several stitches over my left eye but don't remember how many. The AF hospital did a good job though and can't even tell these days. Have no idea what happened as I was drunk as a skunk when it happened.

Got cut by an end mill when I reached across the table and 'lightly' touched it. Where's the glue! Being a machinist, you're going to get a few cuts here and there. Main thing is to not lose any fingers but almost lost one with a Skilsaw when I worked construction.
