Cut my head open...

[JGarcia]

How do I know if I need stitches?

Its sunday, I'm in the back yard cutting a rather large branch off of an oak tree, I make my three cuts, then get off the ladder to let it fall, but its not moving, so I reach in and grab the end of the branch, and pull, it snaps, but I cant get out of the way fast enough, wammo, right on the right side of my head, knocked me down, I knew I was clobbered good, so I reached up and my hand was bloody, I felt around real good, nothing broken, just bloody, .. I've got an ice pack on my head right now, should I go get stitches or do I need them or?

Shit happens. guess its not too bad, my brother the 91W said he'd check it out later, he's shopping...
