:woot: Took a nice blow to the forehead tonight. I was just tuning my boat and jumped a couple of wakes and was kicking it sideways in the air. Landed a little off and I think I smacked the backside of my throttle or I hit the bars. 15 stitches and a mild concussion. 13 on the surface and 3 in the muscle below. Looks like I get the week off of riding :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: Boat is running like a scalded dog though :biggthumpup:

I thought it would be like 1 stitch but it was more of a tear than a cut. It was a big enough gash that you could stick the tip of you finger in it. I was going to just buterfy bandage it but the Dr. said I would have had a scar......so he removed all the dead tissue and kept the stitches small to aviod scaring. Also put a gash in the muscle so he had to stitch that up as well. Talk about bleeding like a mofo.........my ski was covered in blood. With white turf it looked liek I was shot :haha:
