Injury Update.

in #life4 years ago

Guy's at the beginning of last week while on a job, I hit my ankle with my brush cutter.

I have been in a lot of pain but I have been carrying on, and nothing has stopped me from working.

Today I sat down after a long day and my daughter made a comment with how dirty my ankle was.

it was something like- Dad, don't you think you should wash both your ankles when your in the shower?

I looked down to find that my ankle and the surrounding area had gone a mucky color from the bruising.

I hit my foot with this brush cutter attachment.

This monster of an attachment cut through everything I throw at it and kept going.

I always wear safety boots, just in case, and this thing managed to cut through them like they were children's shoes.

Now if I had not been wearing these safety boots at the time things could have been a lot worse than it was.

With this in mind, I am going to reattach my guard to the tool as I think that this could have stopped anything from happening.

Hope you are all keeping well and until next time stay safe my friends.

Heal fast buddy!

Cheers buddy, it is hurting still, my wife keeps telling me to go to the hospital and get it x-rayed as she thinks I may have chipped a bone.
I just keep working hard and hoping it will heal on its own, I told her when winter comes if it still hurts I will go then to the hospital as I can't afford to be sat ill at home at the moment.

Ouch!!
