8 stitches in my chin from soccer (pics)

[Crazy]

No internal stitches, Millzy. Since it happened on a Saturday there wasn't a plastic surgeon on call at the hospital so the physicians assistant stitched it up instead. It was a fine stitching though, but we'll see how it heals.

Pain was actually minimal when it happened. It just felt like someone threw a light jab at my chin, i got up and then realized there was blood dripping on my jersey haha. Figured it was a small cut, I asked my teammate how bad it was and walked over to the bench.

If anyone's gotten stitches before, you know it hurts the most when they put the anesthetic in with a needle. Straight into the middle of it before they stitch it Yeah that wasn't too pleasant but it's a bit swollen now.
