I've only had stitches once or twice that I recall... lots of cuts, but rarely big enough to require stitches.

My dog bit my nose once, but I deserved it. Still have the scar on the side of my nose. I think that may have got a stitch or two.

Oh, I've had surgery a couple of times, once when I was in high school and once a couple of years ago to remove my gallbladder. It's amazing how much energy the removal of even a minor organ can take out of a person.

Heh, yes, I recall my mother's many c-section recoveries. She'd be 'down' for weeks. Glad I haven't had to have any myself yet.
