*shudders* I remember looking at the blood all like... that blood is not the same color as a nose bleed...

Post surgery, some of them are borderline Monty Python due to the amount of drugs and adrenaline they're on.

"T'is but a scratch!"

Weird coincidence now. I remember getting stiches on my eyebrow. No idea how many. I just remember the instance. I got headbutted during a soccer game by accident (both of us went up to head the ball, I headed the ball, he headbutted me). As I'm getting my stitches done on my eyebrow in Chumir, the nurse is laughing how the dude across from me was getting stitches on the same spot (puck to the head during shinny).
i was extended the same offer. i think i replied, 'ohhh hellllllllll no!' ha! ha! i didn't even want to see our baby until she was all cleaned up - ha!

as for stitches... i'd guess 40-50
i had 20 something in my right hand after getting cut while working as a cook. the worst part of that was 30 years later and i still don't have feeling on the outside of my pinky finger after severing the nerve.
i had a couple good cuts on my legs that had to be sewn up back from my construction days
and unfortunately lots of stitches in my mouth with dental surgeries over the years (but only one from hockey!)
