Windsong sorry to hear about your accident. I know how it feels you wouldnt believe how many times I have done that. Once with a chainsaw. You would think that I would learn but no. I still dont wear a glove or chaps just to dumb and stupid. Maybe its because we have free health care in Canada and it never costs me anything to get stitched back up. You know what they say "There is no fool like an old fool".
Hope your back up and running soon

That sounds like a really nasty slice windsong. I hope everything turns out ok. Keep us posted.

Windsong... Where's your sign? Actually, I've been there, done that and got the T-shirt to prove it. It's been four years now and I still can't feel part of my right thumb. Now I wear a glove, a thumb guard, and a leather apron! And if my wife had her way I'd be clad in armor!

Ouch, Vic! I hope they fix you up real good. I guess one of the good things about being a little ole lady is I don't push hard enough to do all that damage in one swipe. And your new mantra is ?????

Prayers for a complete and speedy recovery coming your way Vic,
Please let us know how things progress, and please pass our best wishes to your wife who we know must be worried and stressed over this as well.

Joy.... I'm sure that Vic will back me up when I say that age and sex ain't got nothing to do with it! It's all about being big, dumb, and stupid for one split nano-second!.... a blip on the cosmic time line! As the saying goes.... Poop! Happens!

Vic, sorry to hear about your accident, been there and done that sorry to say. I'm one of those fools that forgets to wear his gloves too and i have a room in the local ER reserved for me nd the docs know me on a first name basises. So i'm going to pass along a badge that was given to me after my third set of stiches. You may pass it along to some one else who you thinks deserves it too, call it a badge of honor or a badge of rememberance. Either way keep it going and maybe we'll all remember to wear our safty equipment.

Mike... Great badge! I see by your motto you're a believer that "if your fingers are bleeding, your holding it wrong." I look at it another way, "If you ain't bleeding, you're not carving!" Ha! Ha!
