Not too bad. The axe went in at an angle so flesh wound. Lots of blood. We managed to get it cleaned before I headed for medical assistance. Back up on Monday for a check on it. They wanted to know if the axe was rusty! I said that it was fairly clean, but they gave me a tetanus shot. When they checked my records they found I last got a tetanus shot in 2003.
Was scheduled to collect the 200 tdi today as it was in getting work done, but I had to ask someone to do it for me. Driving is out for a while.

Well... from what I've gleaned from your posts about her, I'm not so sure she's hidden it for your protection.

People think that the reason a lot of axemen wear Dunlop Volleys is for grip, but it is because they are cheap as chips to replace if they chop into one.

Just an update with a time line of an eventful week.
Thursday 28th November. 2.00pm attend local xray clinic.
2.25pm, injure thumb while cutting sticks
2.25pm-2.35pm first aid at home.
2.45pm attend local surgery. Injury professionally dealt with. Received tetanus shot.
Monday 2nd December. Attend surgery for check on thumb and new dressing.
Wednesday 4th December Attend surgery for check on thumb and dressing changed. So far so good, no infection.
Scheduled visits to the surgery for further checks on Friday 6th December and Monday 9th December.
For someone who does not get out much this has been a busy and a very exciting week. Life will seem very flat when I get back to normal. I will miss that nice nurse...[bigsmile1]

Update. The wife got me some safety tools for Christmas.

I know exactly how you feel.... Except it was nurses, in my case.
