(actually, the 8 stitches healed well, it's just that her hair doesn't grow there.) <br /><br />But Susan's came from a boring window sill accident, not from a Hunt For Red October incident. <br /><br />We realized the other day that no one in our family has ever broken a bone (except Tom's collar bone at birth). I hope that doesn't mean we are due for one soon. <br /><br />And I love having a doctor in the family!
