How many stitches?


This is a picture of my right shin which I took in the urgent care right before it was stitched up.  So...how many stitches did it take to close this thing up?  And how did it happen?  I bled for about 2 hours before the nurse sowed it up, my sock and shoe were filled with my own blood and my pants were soaked.  I even got light headed from the loss of blood.  It happened Wednesday night...

6 stitches, playing night games with the young men, ran full speed into a bench and hit it in mid stride and then got up and started chasing after them again. Got to a street light, looked at my leg and realized I needed stitches.

Is that a BONE I see sticking out?? Yikes!! I would have guessed a 10 stitcher-- but what do I know, I haven't had stitches anywhere that I can count them!

6 stitches... Oh wait you already told us. I hope it heals fast. You get the award for most stitches and broken bones. Maybe mom has had more.
