Audrey was playing on the computer chair. Somehow she fell off and banged her head into the desk. She split her head on her temple just to the right of her right eye. It was about an inch long gash. Scott took Audrey to the instacare to get stitches. Scott said that Audrey was really nervous and her legs were shaking because she was scared. He said she kept moving her head to try and see what they were doing. They first put a topical anesthetic on. Then, they dripped some lidocaine in the wound before actually injecting the medication. She was numb enough from the prep that she didn't even realize they were injecting. They then told her they were using “princess soap” to clean her up. It was hibiclens, which is pink. She got one deep stitch and then 6 stitches on the surface.
The musings of a not so creative stay-at-home-but-works-once-a-week-as-a-nurse-mom. Also, occasionally, comments from her husband.
