First injuries of 2013

[Harvestman]

More or less, yes

Its a far better injury than my "Hit myself in the finger whist demonstrating the safe use of an axe" from last year

Now you've seen my colleague demonstrate the right way to do it, I'm going to show you what you really must never, ever do...

I now understand why they didnt stitch me up. An amazing amount of thick yellow ooze, has been coming out over the last two days, as it heals from the inside out. District nurse changes dressing daily.

What? In front of you???

Blackthorn is well known for infecting if it tears you, all that green "mould" on it is a soup of stuff waiting to dissolve you.

The medics must be thinking along those lines. Most invasive wounds are left open these days to spot infection and sort it.

Lucky white heather Dave?

Get well soon.

p.s.

In this day and age we need more fotos LOL

 

[Dave]

Cheers. Next time, I'll pass the nurse my phone and ask her to snap a few for the forum.

 

[Miyagi]

Good man

We'd all do it for you, you know that?

Oh wow, excellent injury! I'm impressed. You did it properly, didn't you?

This now means that the bar for the quality of injuries in 2013 has been set pretty high. I wonder who will have a go at beating you?

Now, where did I put my axe...?

Hmm, looks like I've been beaten to it...

Aye. I'll lend you me chainsaw, and a bottle of glenlivet, if you want harvestman?

 

[Elen Sentier]

Ouch! Mend well

 

[Harvestman]

Aye. I'll lend you me chainsaw, and a bottle of glenlivet, if you want harvestman?

I don't need help to injure myself, thanks. The other day I managed to grate open the old axe wound scar on my thumb with a nutmet grater, and I wasn't even using the grater at the time!

Whiskey is for clearing drains with.

Morning all,

Well as you know I was in hospital for the last two weeks. And thanks for all the kind messages that you folks sent. Thought I'd post up a few pics of one of the reasons I was in, not pretty I warn you, but better than when I had no skin on both legs below the knees. Only my right calf affected here. Blinking sore buy the way.

Hope your not eating breakfast.

Thanks again for the kind words,
GB.
