I have something that might help. When I was 8 my ear was partially riped/bitten off by a dog (the dog didn't mean to do it.) I was taken to the E.R., I had to keep a towel on the side of my head becuase of all the blood. I have to do all the regular stuff, sit there and wait for my Mother to give all my info to the desk and get a wristband all that. I never saw it in a mirror to see how bad my ear was, but from all the blood on the towel and right shoulder, and huge-eyed stares in the E.R. waiting room it must have been slightly bad lol. I don't remember being in as much pain as you would think for having your ear not completly attached. I waited probably 30min.-1hr. before they took me in to get the stitches. I was starting to shake at this point, I don't know if it was loss of blood, the pain, or if I was just cold. I remember that they gave me a shot of a painkiller, I don't know what it was. But the shot of the painkiller hurt worse than anything else, more than my ear, more than the stitches. They put a warm blanket on me to help keep me from shivering, guess it wasn't the blood loss since I didn't get a transfusion or something. They had to give me about 10 shots of painkiller since there isn't much flesh on your ear. I guess that thought that I was hurting becuase of my ear and the stitches, but I don't even remember the pain from that, it just hurt like hell when they stuck me in the ear with those needles to inject painkiller into me. Anyways, they got my ear stuck back to my head and I had to ear a big bandage on the side of my head for half the summer hahaha. I can barely see the scar now.

Notes: 30min-1hr wait after getting the E.R. Happy with the treatment, I wasn't in that much pain until I started getting stitches so I didn't feel like I was in a big hurry.
