My sympathies--I had one similar taken off my shoulderblade a few years ago. It left a nice scar. I tell everyone "It was nothing: I was stabbed in the back...at work..."

I showed up at work Tuesday with my head shaved. Told people it was because I picked up my old job as a bouncer at a strip club again and had to look tough. I can't wait to hear what they say when I return to work all cut up.

-Blast

Boy, you and Izzy--trying to puff up your "street cred"!

well damm!!!--medical or shoot-out it still looks nasty..
but you have the right idea for recovery--TV,snacks and pain killers

I wasn't aware we did a lot of sympathy. :P

This will be a lesson- get a problem when it is small.

LOL. That reminds me of something I heard on SNL, back when Vanilla Ice was in the spotlight:
"I told the world I was stabbed in the butt, but it was a toilet paper cut!"

Don't know why that stuck. Probably just really funny to a 12 year old.

Blame the cat!

I think I have seen pictures like that before Blast....from a frag grenade that got dropped at the grenade toss pit at Benning.

Just kidding buddy, hope you heal up soon.

While pushing the pain pills don't forget to drink water and to get some roughage. Those pills sometimes back the system up. The combination being blissed out, half asleep and watching the pretty pictures (or gnomes, as the case may be)often means people forget to drink and eat regularly.

Things back up far enough and long enough and they have to open you back up with an apple corer and clean you out manually. Not a pleasant experience. A big glass of water and a bowl of oatmeal couldn't hurt.
