Yeah, but it's that whole cutting logs with a machette, wrong angle, cut my leg thing. I think I'd learn from that part of the story.
Don't worry BG - chicks dig scars.
Yeah that's a more important lesson. LOL! But I learned from it. I'm more careful now, and I use my kukri for the work like that. It's sharp, and won't bounce like the long blade of the machete, even if I did hit the log at a bad angle.
Not to me but to a friend. He had his straight knife in a sheath on his hip. He hopped up on the top of a 50 gallon oil drum to sit down. The drum was empty and his weight tipped the whole thing over. He and the the drum fell backwards. His knife fell out of the sheath and his thigh landed on the business end. He ran it clear through his thigh. The tip poked a hole in the top side but wasn't stinking out. When his weight came down on it the knife must have been forced through. He was laid up a while over that one but it turned out okay.
That hurt just reading it.
Man, were you there when that happened?
Arrived just after the ambulance. I didn't know anything had happened. Just went by his place and chanced upon it. Now, it wasn't my leg so consider that when I tell you it didn't look all that bad. He said the worst part was cleaning it out. They passed something (I don't know what) through the wound to clean it out.
It went through the outer part of the thigh about the bottom of the front pants pocket high.
Oh man, I bet that hurt like the dickens!!
Cleaning a wound seems to be the most painful. Motorcycle wreck in '77. Spent 6 hours on the table while they cleaned out all the "stuff" in the wound from the ankle to just above the knee. Oh, they won't give you pain meds after a possible head injury (at leas they didn't at Tripler Army Hospital). As they finished, I breathed a big sigh of relief. This guy looks at me and says now comes the bad part. It looked like a stiff white bristle scrub brush dipped in betodyne. Just like buffing a pair of polished shoes. Now that sucked.
Yeah. I filleted my left cheek from the corner of my mouth down about three inches. Nice little pocket of hanging flesh (that wasn't too gross was it? :D) They must have stuck me seven or eight times to numb it.
I said, "Fdorpr oseoerr ofsis ssr". That's sort of how it came out anyway.
They also got the little scrubbing bubbles brush out and gave me a spit shine.
I've gotta say, I'm sure I've never felt something that painful before in my life.
Keep playing with those machettes - you will. JUST KIDDING!!!!!!!
Mine wasn't painful. Truly. I got hit in the face with a running chainsaw. It ran down my face and across my neck and chest. Burned like crazy but never did hurt. I was a bit please out of the whole deal because I kept my wits and sort of triaged myself to see how bad things were. Once I found out I hadn't struck oil it just wasn't that big of deal. Getting the shots was the worst part.
The whole story was really pretty humorous after all was said and done.
So laughing about it sounded like......"Fdorpr oseoerr ofsis ssr".
Just before the stitches when everything was numb. :D
Wow, that really could have worse! What kind of a scar did that leave?!
See. I got you thinking. Chicks dig scars.
And I've got plenty of 'em:cool:
Cutting some stovelenghts off a log one spring morning with the chainsaw, outfitted in long johns and Birkenstock sandals was really dumb. Closest phone or human was 6km away.
