Injury and Strife
Posted on | 3 years, 2 months ago, in the early afternoon | 7 Comments
Last night, the very last of the surgical glue worked its way out of my eyebrow and now my face is a little more naked than it was this time two weeks ago. The glue kind of … ate at the eyebrow hair — so that when it finally wore off in clumps, it (a). looked rather revoltingly like a giant hairy scab, and (b). took the eyebrow hair with it. Fortunately, I have kicky bangs that hide the bald brow damn near perfectly. Unfortunately, my exhibitionist streak compels me to show you what it looks like anyway.
[Edited to add: If you're late to the party, here's what happened to cause the eyebrow mutilation.]
Because some of my readers are a smidge squeamish, I’m putting this under the jump; but for what it’s worth, it’s not gross or anything. It’s just a jagged pink line over my left eye. Grosser by far is the fact that I’m not wearing even a smudge of make-up.

See? It’s healing up beautifully.

My wife has a marvelous scar over her eye. Mind you, hers came from a hockey puck to the face so, you know. Infinitely cool.

I’d recommend using “duel” as your explanation. Then glower ominously.

I’m pretty excited to see how this one heals up; will either be hardcore or prettily tragic, I suspect. And duel? I suppose. Pirate ambush is already on the books, though.

awesome scar! rrowrrl.

There’s something about blogging that makes it essential to post pictures of personal injuries or medical procedures. I’ve posted far too detailed pictures recently of a tooth I had removed after it cracked for example, and previous to that pictures of various cuts and slices.
It’s the blogsphere, you’re obliged to do it. Keep up the good work ;)

Really, you just look totally hardcore.

Wow, it’s almost as if you knew that you would need the bangs of the new haircut for would camouflage. Love the glasses, btw.
