Anyone get scratches they don't remember getting?

[bxrmom]

The other day, I noticed I had a long scratch on the side of my left leg. It doesn't hurt and I can't remember for the life of me, how I got it! Found another small scratch on the back of my hand today and I don't remember how I got that either. The only reason I know the one on my hand is there is that it started to hurt when I was washing my hands this morning! I frequently get bruises that I have no idea where they came from, but scratches are a new one for me.

Hope everyone is having a great day! It's in the 70s today and supposed to continue tomorrow. Took my dog for a walk today and she has been relaxing since.

That happens to me all the time. I work in my yard a lot so that's probably where they come from, but I sure don't remember getting them. Same with bruises. If I find one on my arm I know it's from running into the doorway but never remember when and where. I think that's because doorways erase your memory

[bxrmom in reply to hairbrain4]

That's a good one...doorways erease your memory! Will have to 'try' to remember that one lol

[hairbrain4 in reply to bxrmom]

It's true! Think about it. When you walk into another room you forget why you went there. It's the doorway.

Yes Yes Yes

For the life of me I have no clue how , when or where they come from. I have had a couple of bruises as well.

I have woken up all bruised and scratched up as well and I sleep on my back and don't move. I need someone to explain that one to me.

[bxrmom in reply to rjoneslaw]

rjoneslaw do you happen to sleepwalk? That could explain it if you are waking up all bruised and scratched? or maybe its something you did during the day and it didn't show up until the next day?

[rjoneslaw in reply to bxrmom]

no I don't sleepwalk.

I'm sure I didn't bump into anything, I bruise easily so it would immediately show up

Mystery Bruises .....

No mystery scratches yet!

Do you own a cat 🐈????

Long fingernails???

[bxrmom in reply to Hidden]

No cat, but my dog sometimes does like to jump so she may have scratched me?

Short nails.

I have cuts , bruises and scratches all the time and don’t know it. Lot of times I have seen drips of blood 🩸 and then notice. 😣🤣😊 Ken 🐾🐾

[bxrmom in reply to Kenu]

Ouch! I don't usually get hose kinds. Maybe you need some bubblewrap too lol

I was going up the stairs the other day and I hit my left elbow on the banister, oh my, did it hurt. I hit my funny bone, haven’t done that in years, it was so hard I thought I would bruise. The weird thing was, it was my right elbow that bruised. How do you explain that I don’t want people thinking I have lost it? 🤭

[Goldilockssearching]

All the time! One on my back & one on my leg are the two most common-always the same spots. How I get the one on my back I have no idea because I can’t even reach that spot!

[leking1]

All the time! Scratches, bruises, cuts and scrapes ! I live with cats and dogs, and I fall/bump into a lot of things that keep getting in my way.....that probably explains it....

[Hidden in reply to leking1]

Darn stuff, getting in the way!

My mystery scratches usually involve my Siberian kitten running amok in the middle of the night.

Yes I get scratches, and bruises all the time, without a clue where they come from. But, that's probably due to like everything else, I simply ignore pain as best I can. But really, the other day I woke up black and blue. Was I in a fight? No, I don't ever get in fights. Did someone beat me up in my sleep? Seriously doubt that would even be possible. Maybe it was the xxx? Or xxx? Or xxx? Oh well, so what? Does it really matter? I'm sure it will go away. Though when something like this prompts me to, I can look at the scar I got on my hand I got as a kid. And I remember it!!! Jumped off a big concrete sewer pipe that was part of a sewer upgrade project to stop rainwater flooding. I landed feet first by fell with my hands hitting the ground, right onto a broken pop bottle. Still remember what the piece looked like, from the base of the bottle. My mother patched it up, took a few weeks to heal, left a scar, that will stay for life. Oh well, no biggie. But how can I remember that, and none of the hundreds of things that happen nowadays?

[bxrmom in reply to MarkUpnorth]

I remember some of the craziest things that happened years ago, but not stuff that happened yesterday! Crazy!

[MarkUpnorth in reply to bxrmom]

I guess my memory was good, up till some point, and some of those events were well burned into my brain. That was till let's see...??? Can't remember. LOL! I guess sometime leading up to the time I finally had to stop working? About that, I vaguely remember going years with my neurologists telling me to seriously think about hanging up the towel, but I was still good at compensating with excellent paper means and day-timer (the carry around book with notes on everything/anything important), along with a great ability to always be punctual. !?!?!Maybe that was about the time I finally switched from a Day-timer to a smartphone???? Technology!? And I WAS a tech geek!?

[Hidden in reply to MarkUpnorth]

I still write notes about everything...

Lol

[MarkUpnorth in reply to Hidden]

In lieu of a memory? I surely wouldn't remember the event without the scar.

[Hidden]

I have lots of scars...makes for good stories

😆

[DM0329]

Yep: so glad I'm NOT the only one!

[mrsmike9]

I usually notice scratches but not bruises! I end up with them all over me with no idea how they arrived!
