I Pierced My Nose Today

Much like the quilts I make and send to people that are bits and pieces of material, my body is bits and pieces of who I am and my life.

I have a scar 3/4 ways around my chest from heart surgery I had 48 years ago at Deborah Heart Institute in Toms River, New Jersey. I was 2 years old at the time and I often wonder if the Dr. that performed my surgery is still alive, I would love to meet him and thank him for my life.

I have the scar of my knee from jumping into Lake Mead feet up after my parents just read the sign that said no jumping from the platforms.

I have a small scar on my leg from putting it up against a Harley exhaust right after my husband told me it was hot.

I have several tattoo's and one that was recently split in 1/2 when the surgeon put my ankle back together. There are times when it doesn't matter & that was one of those times. Save my leg, forget the tattoo.

I have my ear cartlidge pierced in one ear, 2 holes in each ear. I pierced my eye brow twice but both times I had problems, so let it go.

Today, right after I had my toenails painted hot pink to match my cast, I had my driver (Desi, I love ya for helping me do this) take me to the piercing salon and I had my nose pierced.

Odd for a 50 year old...but hey, I am a unique person!
