I don't think a great deal of blood was lost, and he was only out of 
classes for about 4 days. I think he was playing up his injury. I 
don't think that you'd need it to be badly bleeding to stay out of 
class or wear a sling. All you have to do is whine incesently, and 
get your Daddy to write a note saying you should rest.
