Update:
It is 10:15pm and I gave up and called CW rather than wait for her to call me. There was an emergency case that came through that the docs had to deal with so they just now finished stitching the boy up. Sixteen stitches to his knee and some decent opiates, so even though I have not seen his latest “owie” (his words) I can guess that it looked gross. Good thing they took him to the regular hospital since the urgent care left a lot of debris in the wound. They haven’t left yet so… we wait.

I got a call from Cruel Wife while I was at work today. Through casual conversation she frantically told me the news…
Frankenboy slipped on the bricks next to the fireplace and gashed his knee clean open. Yay!
Stitches. Blood. Hollerin’. Bloody mess.
Thing about owning a dog like Zoe-pup – it means never having to clean up a bloody mess yourself. I got home and the place was spotless and really just cleaner than clean.
On the way home I stopped by the pharmacy and picked him up a rubber snake – and put a bandaid on it’s knee. Wherever that is.
They’re still there getting him patched up so I’ll fill y’all in later. Had no idea it would stretch out this long.

Woah that kid is a bit of a trouble magnet eh? I hope he gets better soon!
Hopes for a swift recovery! We know he’s tough!
(And bald! Bwa-ha-ha-ha)
Knees …. they bleed like a bitch, don’t they? Good thing you had a dog.
This was probably rougher on the parents than on him. 🙂
Oh yeah, let’s just hope the dog doesn’t acquire a taste for human blood. That would be a Bad Thing I think.
Yeah, the whole Bad Thing could turn into a Cujo Thing with the right scenario and would have to be dealt with, and I’m not big on burying my critters.
Twould be best per’aps if we avoided spilt blood around yon canine, no?
Awwww, poor FrankenBoy!! I hope he gets very coddled and spoiled during his convalescence.
And WTF is Urgent Care for if they are not going to at least properly clean a wound??
I think urgent care did the best they could but it was kind of deep and they didn’t really have what it takes to properly deaden a four-year-old’s wound. He was waybeyondoutofcontrol once they started. I’m SURE it wasn’t deadened enough.
Ah, ok…that’s understandable. Poor little tyke 😦
Last year when he did the sucking head-wound thing he was tough as nails so I know he must’ve been hurting pretty good when they tried to fix him at urgent care.
I do agree with you though – you’d hope for more. I mean, they were trying to close it up in spite of the gunk still in there.
Well, your presence is required:

Hope he gets home soon–he’ll have way cool stories that will totally out-cool his friends.
