jwrass Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 On Thursday 7/10/14 I lost my balance on a ladder I was using to build a new deck at my girl friends house! I was about 4 feet up the ladder and the deck is four foot above grade,I took a tumble and broke both bones I my lower leg. Spent three days in the hospital and may need to have surgery. The only reason why I didn't have surgery is that the leg has been injured before and has much hardware in it. The new break is part way through the hardware and the surgeon wants to give the site a few weeks to see how it heels before he potentially opens a can of worms.As usual it could not come at a worse time!!(like there is any good time to have a injury) the shop is full, trying to get two homes ready to sell.Going to take it a day at a time as that's all I can do.Maybe now I can get my BMF tutorial done and a few on the bench.Cheers!!!!Jimmy "RASS"
imarriedawitch Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 Ouch! Our safety guy at work tells us that with a fall from 10 feet it's 50-50 whether you live or die. You might have got off lucky. Best of luck with your recovery.
Danno Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 Yikes! That's not good at all, Jimmy. Hope it heals well and quickly.
