Crash Course

[jdl1279]

Still no

[Giles]

Head transplant?

[jdl1279]

Days I need one, and the wife would agree, but no.

[jdl1279]

A serious guess should be easy to come by, both in injury type and how it happened, if you read my posts.

[trail and arrow]

aye aye, sir

---

injury type: laceration
how: trying to shave

[simonc]

Rear naked choke?

[jdl1279]

I have oft jokingly referenced it as a shaving scar and/or knife fight wound, but tis neither. I don't want to meet the cat that can apply a rear naked that does this type of damage.

[jdl1279]

Hint 2: It's actually two scars, a scar within a scar.

[jdl1279]

I have a couple more hints I  can drop before I spill the beans. Unless otherwise requested, I will try to make revelation in a timely manner, likely 24 hours. I really am interested to see how others take to the thread and share, the guesses alone have made me chuckle.

Was it a wound that was cauterized? The scar within a scar thing…

[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.

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.
