Whenever it was time to share scar stories at Scout Camp, I never had anything worthy to brag about. The best thing I had was getting my foot ran over by my dad's car, in the garage when I was 5. Well the day has come when I finally have something to share around the campfire: A few weeks ago I was playing in a soccer game when me and an opposing player jumped up for a head ball. In the air we managed to bonk heads, leaving us both with what I thought was just a headache. After standing up off the turf I took my hand off my face only to see a stream of blood shoot out about 12 inches in front of me. Walking towards the sideline I kept constant pressure hoping to stop the bleeding. At the moment I thought it wasn't going to be too bad, the "official" student medic took a look and quickly turned his head away saying, "I think I'm gonna be sick." After my teammate took a quick gaze, he quietly whispered, "Andrew, hold it up so you're eyebrow won't fall off." After that I knew a simple Band Aid wasn't going to work. So all hope of keeping my perfect medical record was shattered as I went into the ER with a bloody face, and came out with 17 stitches and a $700 bill! Thanks Doc
My 45 minutes in the ER. Keali snuck in to snap a quick pic before the nurse kicked her out. For some reason the nurse wouldn't let her stay in the room...weird!

Contrary to what it looks like, I did not take any pain killers or any substances for that matter. (I wish we had a better close-up)
