Never seen one of those before. A bit bionic man now then?

Sounds very dramatic look forward to seeing pictures of the injury site! Nearly as bad as getting savaged by a Brown. x

I once cut my finger badly with some very sharp scissors in the garden when I was cutting weeds to feed. I felt so stupid, who cuts themselves with scissors? Blood flowing - had to rinse it off the weeds!

Sadly it's very easy to catch your foot in the top of a fence around one of the pens the last time I did it I managed to land face first on the fence on the other side of the path! Two lovely black eyes and broken glasses. Nowadays I tend to have the wine after I've put them all away. x

oh no broken finger ! that is funny but I bet it really hurt like henry. And then Edward Jonathan scissorhands...ouch ! I don't even (watch) like watching that programme that shows videos of mishaps.

I went running out to pick up a tortoise when it was pouring with rain, picked her up to replace her under shelter and twisted my ankle so bad as I slipped but had to keep hold of her that I ended up in an air cast. I just let her sit in it now ! Still got the air cast and sock just in case though... CB
