Injury, photo of injury, minor bleeding 

Welp, this is apparently what happens when you're driving a forklift and the forklift stops suddenly but you don't. (fork caught in something and stopped moving.)

Wound up hitting my forehead on a soft metal edge and split the skin about 1.5-2 inches wide. Currently waiting to see if they can glue it shut instead of stitch it. Thankfully concussion does not seem to be a concern.

Thankfully they were able to glue it shut, no stitches required! Probably going to be popping quite a few tylenol when I get home though

Injury, photo of injury, minor bleeding, kind of EC? 

8 days later and it looks immensely better! I still need to cover it and now put neosporin on it, but so far the recovery is going well!
