Hockey incident???? 18 stitches
I recently had a hockey incident. 18 stitches above my left eye. I really want to return to the ice but I’m not sure if I should wait longer or not

Since you have had stitches it's better to wait a bit longer. It takes 2 to 3 weeks for wounds to heal Make sure you don't have any vision problems or headache. Wear protective gear.
