Dr. Rew to the Rescue!!!

Man, it was such a good day...almost too good. I was planning on doing some yard work when I got home today. I moved the rain spouts up and shoveled some mulch around the bushes in our backyard when all of a sudden I look up and the rain spout hits me hard right on the forehead! The aluminum gouging into my skull!! Ouch! I knew right away there was going to a be a lot of blood. I touched my hand to my forehead and sure enough, LOTS of blood. I checked out the wound and thought I might need stitches. I called Amber and told her that when she gets home she'll have to check me out to see if I need a doctor. There was a big flap of skin just hanging there. Anyway, Amber got home and she didn't think I needed a doctor because the wound wasn't deep enough. But we didn't have any first aid stuff in our house. She ran to Walgreens and came back with gauze, bandages and Linacain. She fixed me up real good! Check out the before and after photos:





Now, it's time to grill some hot dogs, enjoy the weather, go for a walk and watch the brewer game! Thanks Dr. Rew!
