But as usual, we have you covered with a slew of images found online of the most intriguing pics of the human body.

LakotaWolf (she/her): OP’s last post/comment on Reddit was 3 years ago. OP said they were diagnosed with Desmoplastic Small Round Cell Tumor, which has a 15% 5-year survival rate. I wish I knew that they were okay and that they made it. Maybe they just changed their username :(

Brian Droste: It has been maybe two months ago but I looked up how many people get stung by jellyfish. I don’t recall the approximately number of people, but it is in the millions each year. I am to lazy to look it up again.

PeepPeep the duck: Well upside I guess you could make lots of ‘Marty’s fun private time’ jokes. As a burn survivor myself, this kind of skin graft must be a pain in the bum to manage

LakotaWolf (she/her): From OP on Reddit: “So a quick overview is that I was hit in the eye with a tree branch and have had 6 surgeries on it so far. My pupil does not adjust anymore so it always looks like it’s extremely dilated and my iris peeled up and is no longer brown but is showing the blue underneath. Also, I no longer have a lens in that eye!” When asked if OP can see out of that eye: “Without a contact, nope nothing, with a contact at power 15 I can see blurred images… like the outline of my hand if it’s close to my face.” When asked about their depth perception: “At first it was pretty difficult but I can still take in sunlight and my brain adjusted quite well. I honestly can’t even tell a difference anymore after so many years, unless I close my left eye.”

glowworm2: Explanation from OP:I have a connective tissue disorder (Ehlers Danlos Syndrome), which causes basically everything throughout my body to be weaker than it should be, including blood vessels. This was the result of having an arterial line inserted so they could monitor my blood pressure during surgery.

TruthoftheHeart: So so very lucky that it didn’t tighten or it would have cut off the child’s oxygen during birth

LakotaWolf (she/her): Because I needed to know, even though the image made my spine quiver – from OP on Reddit: “Broken glass at work sliced and separated the front of my thumb from my thumbnail (I’m a bartender) And the Doc decided the best way to fix it would be to sow my thumb right back onto my nail lol. Didn’t even know that was a possibility (expected it to be glued) or I probably would’ve forgone the hospital all together.”
