Wade -
About five years ago I got hit from behind by a bicyclist. I was out for my noon-time run through Georgetown down to teh National Mall, I got about halfway across Memorial Bridge when a tourist on a rented bicycle nailed me. I fell on my face, my sunglasses smashed into my eyebrow and left a gash just like yours. I went to the emergency room with blood running down my face, the Nurse at the reception desk says, "How can we help you?" I thought it was rather obvious. After sitting in the waiting room for about an hour, I went back to the desk and asked if I could have something to keep the blood off the furniture, they decided to sew me up right away, seven stitches.
