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.

Friend of mine who is a Gardener at RHS Wisley told me that all the
Grass Cutting Gang there have no leather left on the toes of their steel
toecap boots! Yet I constantly see people using mowers and wearing
sandals, can't look, makes me feel sick. One slip or moments inattention
and you are possibly crippled for life,

Quite likely. Apparently it's really hard to walk without toes.
