Damn Jer, sounds pretty brutal.112 stitches is a lot, especially for a 6-7 year old. Wear a "doo rag" to hide that scar? lol I never noticed it either.
He must be like a cat with 9 lives skull splitting, hart attacks who knows what else he is not telling us and how many lives he has left lamo
I have probably used up at least 7 or 8 lives, I better start being careful. I was 52 first time I was admitted to a hospital, been in probably a dozen or more times since then.
Most of the scarring is where what little hair I have left covers it, not all of the cuts and gashes were in the same place, that is just where the worst of it was. I looked like a 'towel head' for many months, it had a chin strap so I couldn't get it off. All the kids teased me, so I was really happy when it came off.
Here's one I was finally able to laugh about after. Went to the emergency room a few years back with high fever and really bad pains in my belly. They took some X rays and became alarmed, told me I needed a cat scam or MRI for a closer look. With my good luck, the 'chief' was there that night when they started the scans, he told me the prospects looked really bad, probably liver cancer, but that there was a chance it was benign. He had a long suction needle which at the time looked like a giant turkey baster, and that if I could stand it, they would take the biopsies while I was awake and going in and out of the machine. They finally located the first place to go drilling, they called in four big burley guys to hold me still while they 'probed', as he got the right spot, the doctor sounded happy, said it was soft and that might be good news. Upon sucking it out and some quick tests, they decided I had nothing more than four egg sized lumps of puss. I was on IV antibiotics for two or three months, actually went riding up at Walden for a few days during my 'treatment'.
I've got a bunch more, just not nearly as funny, that is unless you count when I had a calcium deposit in my salivary tube under the tongue, hurt something fierce, when it finally shot out, it looked like several pieces of rice.
