G'day all!
Just got back from my vacation early. Had a bit of a run in with a wave at the beach. I was out there playing around body surfing and one picked me up and launched me face first to the floor of the ocean like a missile. I separated my lower lip from my jaw. That is I split the lining of my mouth open detatching the lip from the gum line. Ten stitches in the mouth is no fun. I've also got some abrasions to the side of my face. Pretty painful.
Literally!

Sorry to hear about the injury Jon, hope you recover soon.
On a lighter note, years ago, I had a buddy that had the same injury, from going through a windshield. He recovered fine, Of course for the first week or so, he would dribble when he drank, naturally we insisted he drink his beer in front of us, so we could watch him dribble.

Get well soon!!!
Man's stupidity, is compounded by his ineptitude, and foolishness. If it wasn't for the Human race this planet would be a wonderful place to live. Man's sole reason for existance was to invent plastic. We've done that, now we can leave.
