Some gardeners were harmed in the making of this program.
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. 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 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. On antibiotics, painkillers and whisky now. Funnily enough, it was only horticultural glass, but a couple of quite large pieces in the rubbish bin had to be attacked repeatedly with a vigorous large hammer to reduce them to disposable fragments -- ®óñ© © ²°¹° I love cooking with wine.
