Drove to Manti eary morning for my sister's wedding and back.  Then spent the afternoon on the lake with the whole family.  About 7:30pm I had a pretty good wipeout with the ski and it hit me in the head.  I was waiting for the boat to get back around with the rope and noticed something in my eyes.  When I reached up to flick it away I discovered it was a big flap of skin.  Took 19 stitches to get my forehead back together.

Missed my run..

Dang, hope you are ok and don't have a concussion too!

BTW, anyone say you now look like Frankenstein with the stitches?

Steve! Jeez... Be careful and hope things heal up well. I've never been water skiing and and have always wanted to but this almost makes me think twice! LOL! Get well.
