THE INJURY THREAD. Post your wounds here.

I was at work Friday and was putting diesel in the tractor. It was cold so I went back in the cab. When it was almost done I started to get out and tripped on the steps leading down, fell forward, and hit my arm with it extended out on the toolbox on the tractor. Hurt like he... After coming to my senses I noticed my arm wasn't working correctly. I managed to get of my layers of clothing and discovered my bicep was up around my shoulder no where it should be. My boss took me to the ER and after some x-rays it is not broken they say I ripped the tendon by my elbow that holds the bicep down. Going to see an orthopedic doctor tomorrow for an mri or something like that I think. From what I understand it will probably need surgery. My right arm no less. I'm right handed. No metal detecting for a little while, SUCKS! I can run my detector left handed but I see a problem digging.

Dang dude, hope everything goes well for ya'. :occasion14:
 

Sorry to give you likes, but that's the spirit of the thread....:laughing7:
I couldn't fathom the rehab and recovery that's gonna take...
Thanks for remembering the thread, and posting your story.....but, I gotta say....

Got any pics?:tongue3:
 

Wow that sucks mac, sorry to hear.
I go down my icy back steps alot and every time I think "would suck if you fell here", I could just see losing my feet and landing on my tail bone or head. Sometimes I have my hands in my pockets and catch myself, and take them out just in case they are needed. Even if you are prepared it can happen so quick there is nothing you can do, especially in my case with hyper 90lb dogs zooming around me.

Hope your rehab goes Ok, could have been worse at least you weren't impaled or something.
