Careless mistake ( pictures)

[Highland Forestry]

Thanks again folks, Matt I knocked stem out a rowan tree, I went to grab the butt before it hit the deck to save some bulbs, the tip hit the ground first so the but came down hard, it was approx 7" just short of 20' long, my hand got forced back against the trunk and then downward, it was a split second stupid decision.

the pictures are after the first clean at casualty with the big doctor holding it together, it's about a 3" tear up the pam side.

Not clever

 

I can just imagine how that would happen...

Split second decisions are always a bit chancy I guess but that's what we do..

I hope it heals well and fast mate.

 

One of my brothers put an angle grinder with a 0.8mm slitting disk through his hand in November and has had to have allot of internal stitching etc - he's off work until February as he severed all his tendons. From speaking to him he assured me it was smarting allot and I can imagine yours will be the same.

 

here's hoping a speedy recovery!

I will need to let it heal properly, surgeon said it will knit back together in approx 12 days, but I will need to be very carefull not to damage it

The outside will heal quicker just make sure you give it time to fully heal before working it.

Gosh,

I bet that smarts worse than a 'Thomas Tank' after a chilli cutting session:blushing:

Come on, we've all done it...haven't we...?

I don't envy you Friend.

Get back in profit soon!

Of course it goes without saying (and I think that I speak for lots of members in your vicinity), that should you need help with any work or anything else whilst you are mending, don't hesitate to ask!
