Monday morning injury

[Paddyfin1]

What a bloody day
I managed to slice down the web between my ring and little finger almost loosing the small finger [crying]
Did I do this on one of my very sharp Festool tools or maybe a sharp knife,chisel or something else dangerous on site!
NO  [unsure] I did it washing up a Miss Piggy mug prior to making a cup of tea ( hardcore I know ) [eek]
Thanks to the Southampton hospital who stitched things back together, I shall now enjoy a week of light duties ( no making tea or washing up..... That's the bloody apprentices job... He had a day off today?????)

You have my sympathies! I'm guessing that there was a knife in the washing up bowl that you were unaware of?

Hope you recover soon.

 

[Paddyfin1]

I wish there was
My cup broke  [scared] and as a I scrubbed............
Festool please make an I breakable mug

Nasty - hope it heals ok.

But can't help wondering if you'd upset Miss Piggy - prap's doesn't like having her back scrubbed.
Would suggest a massage next time -  [wink] - we won't tell anyone else.

Can only suggest getting half a dozen Mr Grumpy mugs, to tide you over - then get the apprentice to wash them all together when he (she?) returns.

I dropped a ceramic bowl while washing it; it hit the bottom of the sink, cracked in two very loudly, and bounced back up 6-8" higher than where I dropped it.  A bit of stress in there.  Along the way it sliced through my thumb's convenient covering.  Being  a nerd, I peeked inside to watch things move; very interesting, though had to put the hand up high every once in awhile to get the blood pressure back up (I have diastolic hypotension).

Might I suggest this mug as a replacement: Butt Mug.  It's my favorite for meetings as work since I can literally say I dragged my butt to the meeting.  I will say its shape makes it a bit of a dribble mug  [blink]

Get better! At least in the UK, you were gonna have a decent cup of tea...

Eek! Ouchie!

My stupid injury goes like this...

Nearly 3 months ago now I took my kids (3 teenagers) down the Gold Coast to have a look at the massively storm scoured coastline... And those super rich mansions getting uncomfortably close to the unrelenting encroaching surf...

Anyway my kids started doing big superman jumps off the bout 4m high sand cliffs...

Well, not to be shown up Dad had to jump too... I managed a couple of ripper leaps... But ever-so-slightly mistimed the third jump... Landed awkwardly... And blacked out in a blinding flash of pain...

The damage... Fortunately no structural damage; but a nasty spinal crush injury to the lumbar region...

Zonked on Morphine for a couple of days and couldn't get out of bed for a week...
Crawled (literally) to the toilet for the next week....  Very slow incremental improvement from there... I've started back at work in the last couple of weeks and can almost get through a day standing without having to lie down...

Feel free to sling mud... I deserve it!.... 50+ yo men simply should not be trying to keep up with crazy teenagers.... I still did the biggest jump tho.... :sic

P.S. All my  (dads fav) 'Home Mugs' are double skin stainless... Don't break!!... Handles do fall  off eventually though...

Well, while we're comparing war stories ...

We had one of the stupid big shell shaped ceramic soap holders in the shower ... yep, dropped the soap and smashed it to pieces with my head as I was standing up again. All I could see was blood - for a very good reason!

What's that saying...

Pictures or it didn't happen  [popcorn]  [scared]
