oh yeah, stitches
Oct. 16th, 2011 12:23 amDid I forget to mention this morning's trip to the emergency room? (Actually, it was the Walk-In/Urgent-Care office, 10 miles from its affiliated hospital, but ER sounds cooler.)
While warming up for my skating lesson, I stumbled and caught my left shin with the heel of my right skate blade. It happens, and it hurts when it happens, but it's seldom more than a bruise, so I went on with the lesson. Half an hour later, while taking my skates off, I decided to have a look-see. It wasn't big - maybe 3/4" long, but deep, and kind of pooling blood at that point. Amazingly, my jeans weren't torn at all.
Two hours and 4 stitches later, I was back home, digging holes and attempting to break rocks. That's okay, right?
