I had an accident 20 years ago which caused enormous damage to my right leg and because driving means so much to me I wouldn't sign the form to let them amputate my leg. If it had of been my left leg I would have let them take it off so I would be driving a DSG now.

I would most definitely be in less pain every day but I would rather have the pain than drive an auto.
Ouch!
I'm not sure what to reply to that; mixed horror and admiration I think.

Agreed. That post has brought this thread down to earth with an almighty bang!

This is the good side

Yeah sorry, I shouldn't of posted a photo of my leg. I've deleted it now.

The other side is worse and they had to take all the back off my leg from my heel to 6 inches above my knee. They said that I would never be able to use my leg again but what do doctors know. Obviously they were wrong.

You needn't have deleted it, my comment, as usual, was tongue in cheek. A picture speaks a thousand words and it got the message across very well.
Your strength of character shines through in that little story.

I know but as my wife said it isn't something that a lot of people would like to see.

Strength of character? More a case of stubbornness.

I'm getting tattoos of open zips around all the scars this year.

It's one of those "it's just got to be done" things!
Don't forget to post up the photos when you've had that done.

It is actually my Christmas present from my wife. I have had a test on it already without the ink and to say it is bloody painful is an understatement.

I reckon a couple of inches at a time is the most I could stand. However the total length of the scaring is over 80 inches. Can't even have a drink when getting it done because it thins the blood.

It certainly sounds like you're a bit sensitive around the scarring. Though scarring sounds a bit of an understatement.

All the nerves in my leg were badly damaged and parts of my leg have no feeling but other parts are super sensitive. If I scratch a certain part of the front of my leg I feel it in my foot but yet I have no feeling in the front of my leg at all. It's a bit odd but you get used to it after a while.
