Not for a Weak Stomach - Joel's Gash in His Knee

Joel wasn't sure if we should take him for stitches.....your thoughts?

The nurse didn't hesitate in preparing him for stitches. How 'bout that?

The gash....all clean.

Guess what comes next?

Yep, the needle in the knee!!!!

All numb. Lidocaine rocks!

The stitching takes place. Frankenstein, eat your heart out!

Final product. (The white is from the lack of blood circulation due to the numbing agent.)

Kind of looks like a football.

This happened several weeks ago. Stitches are out and he has healed. This is just one of those "feel good" moments you want to share with the family. Ok, so it's not, really, but it's still cool. Just ask any of the boys.
