ok so the story, working on replacing Ross' left rear wheel bearing. I removed the hub assembly and we take it to a shop to get the new bearing pressed in. etc, get back and start to bolt it back in, I was torquing on the lower rear ball joint and the socket slipped off the nut, smacking me in the face. Hard. It didn't hurt but when I put my hand up to my mouth all I could see was blood.
checked for all my teeth, still there. I had split my lip really bad though, I could pull the gash apart almost 1/2", it was really deep too.
go to the emergency room (like 2 blocks away, lol) and got stitches... it's healing well, Sara hates Ross now since I lost the ability to use my lips/mouth
I'm hoping to have it fully healed after this weekend.

yeah Jeff, it'll most likely scar, oh well. I have tons of other scars so...
Skip I'll let Sara know that you are willing to help out the cause
and Dan, I tried... it pulls on the stitches too much if I try and open up wide...
