Here are the pictures that I took tonight when I took my bandage off

A "not so close-up"

And a close-up - 1.5 inches long, 7 stitches

Oh Geez! That looks pretty painful!

At least you got your lunch, though!

 

[BigBrownDog]

Oh man. I'm so sorry! I hope they put enough stitches in for you - did you have a plastic surgeon?

 

[RangerMom]

Wow, when you said you cut your head, I did not think it was that big. That was some big kickback.

 

[labby]

Wow, Pat.

 

[Paddysmom]

Owie zowie! As I always suggest, don't forget to use Witch Hazel on that to keep the bruising to a minimum.

I LOVE your hair! Just love it!

 

[gundog]

Sorry for that......it did make me chuckle though. You can bet those instructors are hearing it.

You could shoot that gun but they obviously didn't prepare you properly.

Good on you for finishing and keeping your attitude. I sure belive it must have bled a lot......LOL......I have had a couple minor head wounds and it's amazing the amount of blood they produce.

Holy crap, Pat! I was picturing something half that size! Is it bruising yet?

 

[blacklabparent]

OUCH!!!

 

[Wendy B.]

WOW- I can't believe they let you shoot a 44 Mag w/out totaling preparing you. I give you alot of credit for completing the day.

That's and impressive Laceration! Sending good healing thoughts your way!

 

[Clanceycanuck]

Holy crap Pat ! Good fast healing, no scarring thoughts on the way.

The weird thing is, there's no bruising or swelling - it's just really sore to touch, but doen'st hurt otherwise. I think it bled too much to make a bruise - there's no blood left in there! Paddysmom - thanks for the "hair compliment" -it pretty much does it's own thing, but I got a new hairdresser and she did a good job cutting it.

 

[Callaway]

Ouch! At least your smiling tho! And you look beautiful!

 

[Belles mom]

Holy Crap! That surely did hurt!!

 

[pat]

Oh Wowwwwwww .........I have just bumped my head and had a tad of a bruise, and it hurt like heck. I can just imagine with all the nerves how it must feel..Take good care.

 

[3TailsWaggin]

Wow, you are wearing that one proudly!!! You go girl

 

[sarah]

wow! and OUCH! I hope it gets better really soon!
