View Full Version : A VERY VERY Close call for me tonight!
I was cutting some fire wood this evening and had a bit of a mishap with the chainsaw... first time I;ve ever cut myself with one. I won;t show you the actual carnage... but here is my pants over the bandage:

I'll let you use your immagination as to what my leg looks like under that!
Don;t worry bout me... I'm fine, its looks worse than it really is, doesn;t hurt at all.
Wish me luck it doesn;t get infected! :)

Dammit! WE WANT CARNAGE!!! :D
Glad you didn't lop it off, however. I wouldn't have worried too much if you did, however. They do grow back, y'know ;)

Well I'm not about to rip the bandage of my leg hair anytime soon :p That would hurt more than the cut!
Should've used Ouchless bandaids ;)

Man, gotta be careful. Hope that wound was cleaned out and bandaged at the hospital. Chainsaw oil and wood bits are a great catalyst for an infection. Hope it heals soon and without a scar.

It was well taken care of... no fooling around with something like that.
although, it is morning now, and I will say.... it hurts now! Maybe last night it was all numb or I was pumped up with adrenalin, but its gonna be sore today. Stupid doctor said... oh, you can go to work, just try not to walk around too much... WELL GEE, thanks doc, that practically all I do at work is walk around from place to place in the shop.
KaHNZa: It was a brand new pair of pants :eek: and not mine, thier my pants from work, now I have to explain to them why I have an 8 inch gash in them :o

The bandage is off now, letting it air out. But are you sure you really wanna see it? ITs not pretty. If I were to show anyone, it would be via PM only... not posting it up for the world to see(all of it anyway)
OUCH! Are you sure your leg still exists after that?!?! :eek: Looks like it was enough to mangle the whole thing beyond just bandage repair....
Hope you recover soon!

After seeing Goatse, Tugirl, 'crappenis', and various other sick and demented picutures, I think I'm immune. :)

I was cutting a small tree about 12' tall, and it started to fall the opposite way I wanted it to so I held the saw in one hand and made an attempt to push the tree the other way with my other hand.... now, anyone who has run a chainsaw knows when they get low on gas they tend to idle very quickly, so the chain doesn't stop like its supposed to... and this is how it got me. Luckily I think my pants got the worst of it.

PM me aswell.:D
Glad to see they aren't bloodstained at least. Of course, you'd get a little less hassle from work when they saw a gallon of blood surrounding the gash in the jeans.;)
