I got a Souvener from kicking ass...but I was not kicking ass... When I was about 13 year old the neighbor friend and I were hitting shotgun primers with a hammer in the driveway. Well somehow one of them got sent into the side of my calf up around the knee. Perfect round hole that bled like a son of a bitch. When my mom got done ripping me a new ass off to the E.R. I went. Turned out they left it in there, and gave me 6 stitches. It is still there up around the back of my knee about 1 inch deep.

I thought i was the only dumbass to do that when i was about that age  But we set them up and shot them with a pellet rifle. One went off and went right through my ear. Now that hurt.

2 screws in the humeral head of my right shoulder (Full open rotator cuff repair - major league ouch factor - especially after I got it running away from 2 rottweilers AFTER they attacked me once and turned my legs into ground hamburger) The dog attack didnt really hurt but the post op was the most horrible thing I have ever endured.
Left hip was replaced last December _ I got out of the hospital on Christmas! Although a more "traumatic" type surgery for the body, this was like stubbing your toe compared to the shoulder |

I could see that I meant it's the same basic shape as the "medical device" in my leg...
