A cautionary tale.(crossposted if you need to care)


Over the weekend I spent nearly 2 days in a traumatic surgery
specialist unit.


That wouldn't be my first choice of locations for a weekend break.

[...]

And why was I there? I was ambulanced 60 miles to Morriston after
tripping in my greenhouse, falling into and demolishing 3 panes of
glass with my left hand and falling into the shards.
I almost sectioned a large slice of my left hand and somehow took
another entry wound to my right shoulder, with sundry superficials of
a cosmetic nature.


That's the spirit! Don't do things by halves.


I was lucky. Jobs done under local anaesthetic, cleaned out and
stitched up, no tendon damage.


Phew!

GWS.
