13 stitches and out of work for a few weeks. Thanks silky!

Extendor or Flexor tendon injury are different recovery time. 

Physio is used to move all parts and muscles free and get mobility back.

No where as bad has your cut but I was up a cedar cutting the lateral branches and only noticed I’d cut my arm when I felt my hand getting wet in the glove from the blood. Silky Sugoi are very sharp.

Tis but a kiss.

Hey guys,
 
Had a small accident in a spruce tree on Wednesday. 25 foot up the main trunk during a take down, stripping the lateral branches with the silky, cut a branch on my right side from the topside until it swung down and hung on its last fibers.  Grabbed to hold the branch with my left from the underside and proceeded to finish the cut off with my right hand from the topside again. The final cut went through far easier than expected and the final destination of the blade ended up hitting the topside of my wrist/forearm with some pull motion. Took a quick look as soon as it happened with blood squirting from the cut, got myself down from the tree asap and got my lad to get the first aid kit and the customer rushed me to A&E. The result of this silly mistake ended in 4 internal stitches. It had cut to muscle and cut a superficial vein and I have 9 external stitches. Thankfully no tendon damage and I should be back to work in a few weeks.
 
Keep safe guys!
 
 

I'm more questioning of your tiny pink opened toed slipper bottom right of this shot....cheeky

But the "best bitter" favoured by Yorkshire men is worthless enough to use for washing? ;-)

Ouch!

Anyway OK for washing, like weak water, tis the antiseptic element that is missing, that would require actual alcohol?

P.S.

Joking aside one of the best draught bitters I ever quaffed was Theakstons best bitter, at 3.8%,(@ the Fat Lamb, Fell End Cumbria, near Tunstall tractors ) but just "perfect" to allow me to enjoy 4 pints, without being do-lally.
