CORRECTION on Brad's "incident"

So it appears I misunderstood what, exactly, caused Brad's wounds during his incident.

He has a cut, about once inch long, on the underside of his chin which was caused by his bayonet. It didn't go in any further than that. Brad says it's because it's purposely dull.

He has a cut inside his lower lip and one on the outside. That's where I misunderstood. Anyone who knows how Brad sometimes "communicates" can understand it.. :) Turns out what actually happened is that he BIT THROUGH his lip. His top two teeth went through the inside of his lip and came out the outside. They stitched up inside with the dissolving stitches and the outside with regular.

I asked him if he runs the risk of having it get infected, since the human bite is supposedly the worst to get .. hahaha.

Anyway, he gets his stitches out today. They weren't supposed to be in longer than 5 days, per the hospital's discharge orders, but that would have been Saturday and here it is, Wednesday, 4 days after the day they were supposed to come out. So they might hurt a little bit to get out but probably nothing compared to what caused them....

So, there's the correction/ clarification. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
