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


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

In the next bed was a man who had destroyed a toe on one foot and a
lot of the flesh on the opposite shin. He had slipped on a sloping
lawn, using a Flymo and slid his legs under the blade.
General anaesthetic and foreign holiday cancelled.

Trying to envisage this, I suspect there was more than meets the eye,


Just further away a professional gardener was hedge trimming at his
own property (using his employer's equipment). Using it one-handed, he
tried to catch a falling bough with his free hand but it had the
blades attached to it and destroyed a swathe of flesh on his free arm.
General anaesthetic and sick note

Muppet.


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.

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


Do be careful, 007
