Scars

Between my eyebrows; origin mysterious

On the right side of my nose; from crawling into a coffee table leg at four; requiring stitches

Right knee; from bike-racing alongside a friend who pulled too close; no treatment

Just under my sternum; from bathing one of our family cats who hated water; no treatment

Right wrist; from helping pick up pieces of a door window after a friend's parent slammed and shattered it; no treatment

Left forearm; from a medieval-style bleeding time test (for von Willebrand's disease) at New Britain General Hospital; no treatment

Left foot, inside; from stepping next to a concealed broken bottle in the woods; requiring stitches
