Empathetic

Dallas was a key player in the cutting of his cousin's hand who needed to have stitches. He must have been feeling pretty bad about it because the following Monday he decided to run into something in his room and split his head open above his right eye while Mommy and Daddy were out to dinner and a movie for Daddy's birthday. Maybe it made him feel better sharing in his cousin's misfortune. Unfortunately he didn't do it right. his stitches only need to stay in for 4 days while his cousin is destined to two weeks...

LOL, yeah, he just got away with the bare minimum in order to empathize. I had to laugh looking at the chart - head stitches are on the very top with the least amount of recovery, while stitches on the palm of the hand are at the opposite end with the very most days.

I hope you guys were able to enjoy the night despite the bad news. He really was fortunate in that there wasn't a concussion or anything of that nature (though it might've been easier for Mom to wrestle him down for those stitches if he'd been a little more sedate... I just got to sit back and try to avoid looking at the carnage, LOL!)

What is with everyone getting hurt this week? Holy cow, will you all cut it out before someone dies!?! Haha.

I have to say though, I still think stitches in the knee are the worst. The whole having to keep your leg straight for 72 hours and then having to be careful how you bend it the rest of the time seriously SUCKED!!
