Well we all know I broke my wrist on Monday,, no concentrating,, pulled garage door over,, heavy metal frame on 20' X 20' ,was thinking about my next job ,, pulled door over, usually quite stuff but all the rain We've been having lubricated it,, it jammed my elbow to the frame and the force broke my wrist in two places,, knew something not right was like an explosion in my wrist.
I've never broke any major bone's before lol ,, not bad for 52 years on the planet. Lucky I did hot and cold water to ease swelling,, strapped it up to immobilise it and drove home,, carol took me to local hospital,, three hours of waiting,, but that's usual for our a&e departments. Doc said I done wrong thing strapping it up,, was going to say,, you try driving a stick shift then lol. Went for x-ray and when he saw me again. It was well done for strapping it up, kept break knitted together and this will help it heal quicker.. So much for his earlier statement
Still ,, back at work next day,, for tea and sympathy,, no medals Been better than expected,, biggest problem is getting ready in morning,,, 20 minutes,, torture lol

Well Davy, you appear to have avoided the surgeon's knife and insertion of metal. That is unlikely to make you feel any better I suspect . cheers Paul

Other mechanic been off from start of November had a double hernia operation,, was in last Thursday,, looking like dead man walking.. only me and him are approved MOT testers,, I can manage to do an MOT with an assistant so garage can still operate,, no ideal,, but going to be off from 24th to 6th so will get plenty of rest then,, back at hospital next Thursday x-ray and new plaster cast. ,, It's pretty hard changing brake pads with one hand I found today lol. Pretty tiring can admit that 😁
