haven't posted these pics... been a long recovery :) wake boarding with friends at their lake house this summer was a BLAST!! i had to go and ruin the fun... attempted a jump and clearly didn't land it. 30 stitches in all... stiff forehead for a bit (like 5 months... i'm apparently a slow healer, but it was a DEEP inury!) while the nerves were healing... but now we have full eyebrow movement and the scar connects to my forehead lines! i imagine next time i hop on a board i'm going to need a helmet :)
