Eric’s Accident: One Week Later

Posted in Rawr tagged at 7:21 am by Eric

One week ago my car skidded and turned turtle. The accident left me with a bad cut to the head, but thankfully the rest of me got away with just minor cuts and scratches. Stayed in the hospital for two nights, and have been resting at home since. Now that a week has past, I thought I would give you all an update on how I am faring.

The little cuts on my hands, leg, and ear have mostly healed now, and the scabs over the larger scratches are slowly peeling off. They seem to be healing nicely, and I expect nothing more than a few superficial scars that will slowly fade with time.

As for the head wound, however, that is quite another matter. Went back to Putrajaya Hospital today to have it examined. Seems to be healing well enough, but the wound is still not closed enough for the stitches to be removed, I was asked to come back in another week. :( I am anxious to heal up and fly back to the US to be with Victoria, and I had rather hoped that the stitches could come off today.

While at the hospital the nurse cleaned and examined the wound closely. Surprisingly, she pulled out two jagged-looking pieces of glass. The doctors must have missed them during the operation because of all the blood around the wound. Am rather miffed, however, that no one else found the pieces of glass in the week of daily cleaning sessions.

Ah well, hopefully now the wound will close faster.
