Carpet Knife + Knee = Bad Slice

A personal story in the experience: I Have a Scar
A fter Hurricane Andrew came through the New Orleans area way back when, I was helping pull carpet out of some of the flooded homes and the carpet knife slipped and sliced open my leg just above the knee.  Now, it's just a puffy white scar.

Nah, no permanent damage. But it left a nice scar to remember the event by.

Sorry that happened to you but glad that it healed. I have scars that remind me of past events as well. The scars on our bodies are like a road map of our experiences.
