DAMN. (Luckily for the punk, when my vision cleared he was standing there saying "I'm so sorry... Are you okay???")

Immediately a goose egg was forming on the back of my head. No blood that I can tell....

So after resting in the snow for a couple minutes, I decide to keep skiing.

About an hour & half later, I head for the lodge for lunch. So as I was getting ready for lunch, I put my hand up to touch the "bump" and my hand came away covered with blood. :hmmmm: Guess the cold COLD weather slowed the bleeding down.

After I washed my hands, I finished my lunch (after all, it wasn't like I was dripping blood everywhere). Then I went over to the ski patrol building and asked, "Can you tell me how big the gash is on the back of my head?"

Man, you would have thought that I had announced I was dying. They calmed down a bit after I told them it had happened a couple hours before. It turns out that I have a 1/4 inch by 1/4 inch deep gash. oops.

Holy Shit..how many stitches??thats nasty..
