K Injured on 7 Aug

It happened during the water-break session of our inline skating training. K went to toilet and lost his balance in his skating shoes and knocked himself against the urinal.

Despite seeing the pool of blood that oozed out from his lips, he did not shed a single tears.

We quickly pressed a wet towel on the wound, and after a whilel, the bleeding stopped. But Dad found that the cut on his lip was quite deep, so decided to go KK to get the wound stitched up.

K began to cry only at the time when the doctor and nurses strapped him up tightly and trying to anaesthetize by injecting onto his lower lip so that they could perform the stitching.

He struggled and screamed.

The doctor proposed the alternative of injecting Ketamine into his thigh, and the drug worked very well. Only within 10 counts of the injection, K was already dozing off. And the doctor spent about 20 mins stitching up his wound in the treatment room.

By the time K woke up, which was about an hour later, he was still feeling drowsy and was not awared that his wound has already been stitched up ...


A lesson learnt from this incident : Remove the skating shoes before going to toilet.
