Only popping down to the gate!

[stanko]

Last Friday night I went for a quick fang down to the gate on my bucket, had the normal protective gear on , Tee shirt , jeans and slippers. Unfortunatly I didnt make it back. It was the start of a pretty interesting weekend that involved a visit to th 24 hour doctor then A&E got up sat morming bright and early for surgery. There were 14 bits of 10mm chip jammed into my elbow. We didnt get to go to Greymouth, I spend all Labour weekend in hospital, and the boss was just a bit cross with me. Bit of a lesson for us all maybe. The Xray shows the gravel they couldnt get out at the 24hr place. Dont wank on about how stupid I am, I have a wife for that.

Wear your Shit I didnt even go out the front gate !!

The thought of how they get the gravel out makes me cringe!

Does it involve long-nosed tweezers and plenty of iodine/dettol and no local anesthetic? :blink:

The first 8 pieces of gravel were like that but with local anesthetic, the rest I have no idea about cos it was done under general anesthetic. When I woke up it was all better

Now that you ask, I feel honour bound to tell you....
Running water and a scrubbing brush, in many cases.

:pinch: Ow ow and more ow ... cripes, they did say most accidents happen near home, but thats taking the biscuit!

I am reminded how often to don my gear even if its just down the road to the dairy or summit like that, some days I think "do I need to wear my back protector for a 5 minute journey?"

Which promptly gets me to wear it .... thanks for being candid and upfront about it with appropriate gory pics :sweatdrop

Hope you heal quick and cut out the fun stuff like that! :pinch:
