gt14rider 753 #1 Posted July 24 Was over at darb1964s Saturday and banged my shin on a mower deck, walked it off, forgot about it till later that night. Cleaned and put a big bandage on. Fast forward to Monday morning. Took a ride to VA emergency room. 7hrs later, and a bag of antibiotics, one step forward, two steps back. 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rmaynard 15,434 #2 Posted July 24 All I have to do is touch something with my shins and I'm bleeding. And because I take warfarin, the bleeding is very slow stopping. My mother always said, let it bleed, that will clean it out. Well maybe that is why I never get infections (knock on wood). Hope you're back on your feet soon. 3 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I find I'm bleeding when I come in from the shop and, Mrs. K. yells "STOP, you have a leak". 2 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Darb1964 1,042 #6 Posted July 26 When you showed me that just before heading home I was worried about infection. That old rusty deck had been sitting there a long time. I guess everything went so well loading the c141 into Dave's truck that something had to go wrong, remember my Bride said I hope we don't have to call the ambulance this time!! Hopefully that heals up good my friend and next trip over neither one of us gets beat up. One more incident and both our Bride's will put an end to our play dates.

Every time I use the table or radial arm saw, I always look to see if I have all my fingers. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
