This is what happens... ...when you go rock climbing on Pikes Peak at high altitude, your feet get caught in a crack, your hands can't find a hold and you pivot about your feet to do a face plant on a rock face 6 feet or so below your feet.
Thank God there was an occular plastic surgeon in the hospital by chance as I pulled in to the ER.
This photo was taken by the surgeon after cleaning me up but just before he started sewing.
He did a pretty good job I suppose since I don't seem to scare small children any more often than I used to.

Actually, this picture is almost a year old. The plastic surgeon was a magician. While I know the scar is there, very few other folks even notice. And most of those who do, think it adds to my rakish good looks ;-)

P.S. I only uploaded this picture in order to make this guy feel better:

It hurt... though not at that moment perhaps.

*I have been knocked out before skiing and also tubing down a sled hill, so my brain sort of had an idea of the type of impact that ought to hit the reset button -- but for some reason this hit didn't.
