Crash Course

[jdl1279]

No, each scar was applied over a year apart.

[Giles]

Two snow board/skiing accidents….

[jdl1279]

No

Hint 3: The scars are a result of the injury, not the injury itself.

[Giles]

You swallowed something and they had to get it out through your neck….

[jdl1279]

Twice?

[Giles]

I never underestimate the stupidity of my friends, family or customers….

[jdl1279]

Hint 4: It took VERY skilled hands and a scalpel to apply the scars.

[derivative666]

Tracheostomy

[jdl1279]

No, but getting closer. VERY skilled is the key.

[jdl1279]

Hint 5: the incision sight was not where the majority of my symptoms occurred. To explain better I would need a hand.

[jdl1279]

No more guesses? It isn't brain surgery here guys

[Giles]

Brain tumour

[mclaincausey]

Or lobotomy

[jdl1279]

No, but without handing it to you, it's not brain surgery, but damn close.

[Giles]

I wonder about lobotomy.  1 scar for on the way out and another when they replaced the reprogrammed lobe…

[DougNg]

Carotid endarterectomy

[Giles]

You feckin what?

[jdl1279]

so I have the personality of a pod person?

Doug, no

To recap, two incisions, not brain surgery, but damn close. To explain symptoms I would need a hand.

Hint 6: My surgery was delayed two hours the day of because my surgeon took longer than anticipated in the lady's brain that was before me.

[DougNg]

Did you need to have pressure removed from a cervical disk?

[jdl1279]

No, but you're so close, think more extreme.
