OT- got in a fight with the....

[devs30rko]

weedwacker today.

trying to take down a bunch of wild rose bush on our property. only problem is its on a hill and it the past several days prior to today have been pretty wet in jersey.

one wrong step, i slipped down the hill, and underneath the weedwacker. sure as hell better than a lawn mower but holy shit did that hurt. absolutely destroyed my shin. they couldn't even stitch it it was such a mess.

i basically have 4 scraggly deep cuts in a straight line up my leg and no skin next to them. got burned right of. never thought a weed wacker would cause me this much trouble.

 

[dare2be]

sounds like the kind of injury I'd get myself into.

 

[elocomotive]

Dude, hope you feel better. That sounds awful.

 

[devs30rko]

yeah. its definately one of those whatever can go wrong will go wrong weeks.


the best word to describe my shin is: shredded

 

[devs30rko]

thanks man, i'm all good in all honesty. its just messy

 

[Comeds]

Ouch, that sounds bad. I hope you heal quickly.

 

[DaBoltsNIsles]

DAMN!! I knew there was a reason my dad wouldn't let me touch any of his power tools when I was a kid.

Get well soon & be much more careful next time. Better yet let someone else do it.

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

Take care, dude.

Next time, call Jeff Fahey (or Pierce Brosnan)

that sounds gory ... they can do damage in many ways

beginning of June i was doing edging with the weedwacker on its side and I chose to do it without eye protection (dumb!)

got a small rock in the eye ... actually cut a flap out of my iris ... was on 3 types of eye drops and one gel for the rest of June ... optometrist said i was the 4th person that weekend she saw with that type of "gardening injury"

pulled out the weedwacker again saturday ... this time with eye protection courtesy of a fathers day gift (lol) ... something flew up and went under the glasses and into my same eye ... luckily i think it was just a leaf

Im looking into a welders mask next

That thing's out to get you!

And I hope you get some sweet scars from this, devs. Claim you got them in a knife-fight with a midget or something.

You're a hockey player. We need you out there for the start of the third.

J/K Get better, dude. Sounds nasty.

 

[devs30rko]

hey thanks everybody. if its any consolation, seeing as how this is a hockey board and i played my whole life. when we got home it went right back and finished the job.


however thats also in part because i'm being paid to do so


but the leg is good. its actually still bleeding a little bit here and there in little spurts but at this points its mostly just like having a burn thats really swollen also. but its not affecting daily life so thats all i care
