LaVor got lip injections!

But not the plastic surgery kind. I got a phone call at about 11:00 this morning. It was LaVor telling me he was on his way to the hospital. He's pulled this a couple of times and it's been a joke so I thought he was yanking my chain once again. But he wasn't. He said he cut his lip open and would probably need stitches. When I got home, this is what I saw:





As you can see, the cut starts at the lip and goes all the way to his nose. He was working with a cutoff wheel when part of the blade broke off and got him. He said he was covered in blood and looked like he was "coming home from war". He did have to have stitches but they'll be out in a week. We knew he should have taken the day off :o) But we're very thankful (how appropriate...right before Thanksgiving) that the injury wasn't as bad as it could have been.

Oh No....it's going to be hard to eat Thanksgiving Dinner! You should get one of those cool welder masks. We hope it recovers fast.
