Just wanted to add another horrid surfing moment to the surfing hall of pain... this is me after I was rushed to the ER at Scripps Encinitas. I was out surfing with Julie T at Cardiff Reef and caught a fantastic left I took all the way into the shore--while I was trying to get out up over the wave, the wave jacked up and slammed the board into my mouth. My bottom teeth went COMPLETELY THROUGH my bottom lip and severed the muscle. Totally fucked up man! A plastic surgeon had to be called to fix it. It's much better now. I'll send the two other pics that show the stitches right after the surgeon fixed it and how the lip looks as of today with stitches out.
ANd the worst part--I worked all week! I couldn't talk for the first part, but I had to manage the classroom and work with the kids all day. I finally feel okay today  I'm lucky though, could have been worse!
