13 stitches and a small puncture wound.
Thats what we got today at our house.
Stupid table saw kicked a 2x4 block right at Kurts face.
Luckily it hit his chin and collar bone, and missed major arteries, and other important parts of his face. It cut pretty clean across the chin, i thought, until the doctor was examining him and spread open his cut and I could see the inside of the wound was kinda like hamburger. He had two layers of stitches to help hold together some of the insides in the right place. He aslo had to have a tetanous (sp?) shot which he really hated. The block of wood had a screw half way in it for some reason, and that gave him a small puncture wound just above his collar bone. He is really lucky considering all the places that could have caused severe damage if things would have been slightly different. Stand one way or the other and he could have had the screw in his neck, or his eye, or taken off his nose or an ear...all the possibilities. But Kurt is lucky that way, he took it like a man, and now he will have one of those scars to compare with the boys at work. Anywhoo, it was a relief to get him stitched up, and it amazed me that when we got home, he went right back to work in the garage.
