Keep the Sabbath Day Holy...

After 8 hours of conference Steve decided he was going to go get on the tractor and work on our roads & knock down some weeds. While he was out there our neighbor came over and asked for help with his ditches. So he was hooking up the border disk when he tripped over something and put a good 2-2.5" gash in his shin. So, we head to urgent care and they don't think they can stitch it since its so deep, they send us to the er but there is a 3 hr. wait. Since his leg is throbbing and he doesn't feel like sitting in the er for 3 hours we go back to urgent care and they take us back to start cleaning and shooting it with pain killers within a few minutes after getting there. Once its numb she comes in to start stitching, since it's on the shin bone and is split open so far she has to have her nurse hold it closed so she can start the stitch about 1/4" on the outside of the cut. She ended up weaving the needle in & out so that there are 2 stitches in one for a total of 6 stitches. Yay he's hurting....maybe he'll learn not to work/play on Sunday when he grows up!!
