Thanks Dan.

Fortunately, this wouldn't be under Obama Care. It would be Worker's Comp.

which means I could sue myself.

Don't laugh, it's been done. I know of a lawyer who sued himself for injuries sustained when he bumped an open file cabinent drawer HE HAD LEFT OPEN!

I also know he won the case.

Tell me again President Obama that, we don't need tort reform?

While it would be like suing yourself, wouldn't you be suing your company rather than your person. Same I'm guessing applied to the attorney. He would have sued his firm vs himself personally, correct?

 

Glad to hear you're alright buddy... That could have been a LOT worse.

 

In legal sense yes. But does it make sense to you?

Every client in the insurance POOL would have their rates go up. It may be legal. It might even be rationalized as ethical. But it ain't moral.

My foot went thru two parallel mechanical steel beams only 4.0" apart and was hyperextended by the floor just 8.0" away. This went half the way up my calf with the 1.0" shaft spinning and pulling my pants down at 220 RPMs.

The Key stock tore up my skin a bit and the bones and ligaments got rearranged. My Knee joint was torsioned out of alignment but all went back into place OK. Amazingly, nothing was broken.

A couple of brave guys pulled and twisted. Got the anatomy right. No major bleeding. I walk funny now but that should pass in a week or two.

I'm extremely lucky given the stupidity involved.


Thanks for the thoughts John.

You'll do anything to keep Debby from varooming past you in her coupe won't you!

Hope all is well and while the Mrs. isn't reading this, I'm sure we can muster up some good potato soup to at least help your innards.


Hope all goes well and you know I'm just down the road if you need me to come by and kick the machines...while they're off mind you.

Heal fast but only if it is a good heal, otherwise just heel as Cruxpyr tells you!

 

Were you in fact attempting to vacuum pack yourself to seal in freshness?

 

Debbie is very competitive. I actually like that.

But picture this. Her coming at my thigh with a pair of snapping scissors.

Yeah, that's scary indeed.

Oh Lorena is her middle name. You know the boss put her up to it...contract work you know.

 

I have to admit, I didn't read all this, but "roadster with a stick" came very close to having to go to an auto shift....get better my friend...close call...

 

Geez, around here management just tells the employees what not to do, they don't actually demonstrate.

Glad to hear you're OK after what sounds like one hell of a scary close call. Looking forward to a higher dose of your humor while you're recuperating.

 

I preach safety and excellence. Practice what you preach Ya know what I mean.

I am commited, or should be.

The good news is that I am no longer active in the gene pool.
Humanity is safe.

As I have found out, it does take a lot longer now to heal....lol

 

Hay Doc ! Send Franc some of those used frozen peas to put on his foot HA!!!!!!!

 

I've been in plenty of fights with our cnc machines.. and a forklift.
its not fun. I know where you're coming from and its incredibly painful.

Glad to hear you're ok.

 

I'm sure you'll have a speedy recovery Franc....... they say you can't keep a good man down.


How can we keep Nightrider from reading this thread........ I don't want to hear him saying it's "all George Bush's Fault".

 

Rest up well.... Glad that the damage is only temporary.

 

Wow, Franc - and I thought I had a bad day at work when I realized I lost my channel locks last week.

 

Rest up, and get well Franc.

You know what you should do, read every word of the health care bill in your down time. That will make you get back to work faster.
