Here I come!

I will be here this weekend. Stitches and all! If I don't die, I will post all about it next week! Stay tuned.......

7 Stitches

I went tubing down the Provo river yesterday for a ward activity. Needless to say I am a clutz. I lost my tube, and in the process of trying to get it back I went over some rapids on my shins, which resulted in me gashing open my shin. After going into shock on the middle of the river, getting me up the side of the river bank and into a car, off to the hospital I went with some of the other people in my ward. We only had to wait like 2 minutes before I was back in a room getting my vitals taken. Keep in mind I am still in my swimming suit, and ver dirty from the river. It was all very funny, the guys that were with me kept me pretty entertained, even though John had to leave the room as the nurse injected the cut with Lidocain. I ended up with 7 stitches and one heck of a bruise.

I took some pictures on my phone, and will now add them- so if you don't want to look at them you don't have too.

This is Kevin, John, and Liz from my ward, they came with me to the hospital and provided the comic relief for the day.

Here is the cut before I got the stitches, and before they cleaned it up a little. We had made a lovely pressure bandage out of John's shirt, he did not ask for it back and the shirt he is wearing belongs to our friend Karen.

Here it is after the stitches. The red area has now turned even more red and is getting ready to turn into a lovely bruise.

The trip was really fun and I had a blast, and according to John I shouldn't worry because guys really dig scars.
