Ouchy...

Want to play another game? Guess the body part/area... Here's the conversation we had:

Alison: Hi Ry! What are you doing?
Ryan: Uh... I'm in the bathroom...
Alison: You are just hanging out in the bathroom?
Ryan: Yeah, I guess you could say that.
Alison: What are you doing in the bathroom?
Ryan: Well, I hurt myself. I don't think it is too bad, but you might want to come home.
Alison: WHAT DID YOU DO?
Ryan: I think you better just come home

So, home I went and as soon as I saw the injury I said, yep, you need stitches! (Just as a reference point, the wound is about the length of my palm - about 3 inches long). So, off we went to the local prompt care facility. I think we would have waited longer except that our homemade band aid was totally saturated with blood.

So, the doc. said that the wound was bad but she didn't think she could do stitches because of the way it was cut. Ryan basically took a chunk out and there wasn't anything to close up. So, she said we just have to keep it clean and keep a good dressing on it. She wants to see him again on Monday to make sure it is healing right and doesn't get infected... Oh what fun.

So, they put this huge bandage on it but by the time we got home it had already bled through... So, we went over to CVS and loaded up on all sorts of gauze pads and tape and wraps and stuff. We only replaced the bandage 3 times yesterday between 4pm - 9pm... The one we did last night stayed on pretty good through the night so maybe today will be better.

So, want to play another game? Guess what area of the body Ryan's new wound is on. Have fun!
