Got a dandy scar there now.

And remembering just now, it wasn't a Dr that cut that out. It was a nurse practitioner.
She got an emergency call while she was working on me that her daughter had just been in a car wreck and had a probable broken neck. The gal stayed calm and sewed my back up proper.
