Four Injuries I Still RememberI was accident and scar prone as a child. This would be more interesting if it was injuries I *didn't* remember. The list is short, as my memory for pain is long.
1. Kicked my brother in the teeth in the swimming pool at a hotel in Germany. He had train tracks. Allll the way up my shin. One of several swimming pool injuries I have - diving into a pool, not doing a shallow dive and thus hitting the bottom nose first. Not getting out of the way of the slide in time after I'd come down it, turning round and getting the full force of a young bloke coming down it backwards, at speed.
2. Sitting on a bus, reading a new book of my brother's I'd filched from him. Crash. Searing line of pain across the top of my head. Delayed shock until I felt something warm trickle down the side of my face and hit the book. Stood up, hit extremely high note. Turned out a branch had smashed the window, taking a portion of the roof with it, scraped my head, the resulting blood utterly soaking my school uniform. Think Carrie. As a result of this, I freeze and go white anytime a branch bangs against a bus window when I'm on it.
3. Scar on my elbow from playing kiss chase in infants and slipping on the tarmac as we went round a corner. Couldn't get stitches or even a plaster as the nurse's office was locked and no-one could find her.
4. The gun turrets at Verdun look like giant iron mushrooms. They have very sharp edges at knee height. I'm pretty sure I can lay claim to being one of the very few walking wounded casualties of Verdun of this generation. Got the cut bandaged up at an old concentration camp town, of all places.
