Apparently this was the most difficult spot to repair, it is a Tri point incision. It's a good thing I have a really good story to go along with it!
I have to thank dr. Adam Saad from Egg Harbor Township New Jersey for the wound closure!
So happy to have a round head again!@JoshVadel l'm free no more bandages or helmets for me! Big shout out to dr. Jorge Eller of Jefferson neuroscience, and working out of Atlantic care City division Hospital for saving my life and repairing my head! Also huge shout out to the trauma doctors and trauma nurses who mended me back to health! Love you all!
