We got a call from our daughter-in-law this past Tuesday telling us our son had fallen at a job site and sustained a head injury and was experiencing some memory loss. She said he had been taken to an emergency clinic and they were sending him by ambulance to a hospital in Birmingham. She was waiting for a ride to meet him there. We asked her to call when she got there and let us know how he was doing. Several hours later she called and we got to talk with our son who was still waiting for the doctor to administer some stitches to his head and knee. He said he was sore but anticipating a full recovery. It's now two days later and we have some graphic before and after pictures for those who want to see what his head looked like.
If you don't want to know, don't look. I wonder how many of you will look?
This is what Josh looked like just before they began to work on his stitches. A brick step can do a real job on your forehead. Below is what he looked like after they stitched him up. He ended up with 35 stitches in his forehead and 5 in his knee. Today he was cleared to return to work as soon as he feels up to it. Perhaps with just a little more care being given to going up and down brick steps.
