[phatty]

[Chondrobsessed]

wholly crap! Did you get the tendon? rest up!

 

[Gonemad]

Yuk, I'm always scared when I am cutting wood but my saw is Lot lighter than husbands big 30 yr old tanker. I hope it heals quickly and before mrs trades you in. Lol

 

[phatty]

i dont know about the tendons but i can move me toe so must be all good

nar the missus wont trade me i will be trading her for a late model with turbo
i think she is loving it hahah

funny thing is we both have first aid but i was the one telling her not to stress out hahah and she didn't tell me she was a first aider

Looks nasty but you're pretty lucky to have come off so lightly. Enjoy being pampered while you can!

 

[saintanger]

och, that must of hurt. looks nasty.

the kid down the road was mowing and the mower got caught on a branch, he pulled it out and dropped the mower while still running on his foot. he had 2 toes completly cut off. 3 months later he still has not regained full function of his toes, doctors managed to stitch them back on.

:shock:

Was helping old man cut logs for firewood quite a few years ago and we were on a large pile of felled gum trees when he suddenly jumped back and swore, thought he had disturbed a large brownie but turned out the chainsaw had jagged a 1 inch branch that he'd trimmed before and the sharp edge whipped around and caught him on the upper thigh, a bit of first aid, a trip to the local medical centre (30 min drive) and 28 stitches later he was fine. Moral of the story- wear all the safety crap they recommend, if he had got his artery he probably would have bled out as we didn't have a first aid kit in the ute as we had just got a new ute and hadn't fitted it out fully.

looks like you came off lucky , ive got a mate who constantly trys to start his chain saw whilst holding it , instead of sitting it on the ground and putting his foot through the back handle and then he comes and asks me to borrow my quick cut , then gets offended when i tell him no on the grounds that his an idiot with tools and could seriously hurt himself

i like the way people thought you hadn't gone to a doc yet , who do they think told you not to bend your knee for a week

 

[Endeavour]

Its probably not what you want to read but you were very lucky Iindeed. I saw a horrific accident involving a chainsaw once which really bought it home to me how dangerous they can be. When I see people using a chainsaw without the correct safety equipment it makes me extremely uneasy. I hope you are feeling OK and you have a speedy recovery.


Kindest regards
