I'm a klutz!
Permalink  
 

I have been working with this guy these last few days taking apart an old corn drier. The thing is like two and a half stories tall.
I was up on the ladder with a wrench and an impact gun and I was taking the last bolt and nut apart on this giant row of sheet metal. I honestly can't tell you what happened. I was running the bolt out and next thing the sheet metal went flying and my head was busted open. I'm pretty sure I nailed myself with the impact gun because my left wrist is sore and that's the hand I had it in.
Anyways, one hospital visit, 5 stitches later, and a tetenous shot, here I am. I guess the amazing part is I didn't think of taking a drink! I am a klutz though. Geez!
Oh well, that's enough insanity for the day. Peace everyone...

Owww!!! Glad you are ok, Justin! Did you get knocked out cold? You are not the only klutz in the house. I think I have had Post-Acute Withdrawal episodes now on and off for about 15 years!! It is a chronic thing in my life.

I am so happy that you are ok, safe and sober. And please heal up soon!

Joni

Make sure there's not a nail still in your head. Did you ever hear or see of the guy who nailed himself and no one told him till they got to ER so he wouldn't freak out?

JK-glad you are OK.

I have seen those crazy stories where a guy felt like something was coming through the roof of his mouth, and it was a nail that gotten lodged in his head from an accident with a nail gun decades before!!! LOL Are we freaking you out enough now, Justin???? BONK........ (that one was for me for the bad jokes) Little laughter is good for healing, eh?

Get well soon
Sending prayers for you today
