This is from our first day in Moab - about 20 minutes into a bike ride the first day of our trip, Ave crashed and split her chin open. Turns out the entrance to Sand Flats Recreation Area has Preprinted maps to the hospital, with the fastest route highlighted. We spent 4 hour hours getting 4 stitches. Took 4 versions of pain meds, last of which was a general sedative to calm Ave enough to get the stitches in. She was a little hysterical about the whole thing.
The doctor called her stitches whiskers - and one of the nurses told her there was a whiskers fairy (distant relative to the tooth fairy?). Ave chose not to put the stitches under pillow a week later - she still has them. Bleh.
