bossgroove Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 While pounding my 5 foot long section of 2 inch PVC pipe into the ground with a sledgehammer, and with a fullswing with both hands, it skimmed off the top and hit my left lower shin and then my right ankle. I knew I was hurt and found the nearest seat. When I sat down, I noticed blood gushing from my left leg. Dena helped me clean it and got me to the urgent care clinic to recieve 12 stiches.The pain in the beginning was unbearable, but all is better.Now to the roof!

bossgroove Posted November 13, 2008 Author Share Posted November 13, 2008 We're all smart people right? How could we possibly forget about safety and the laws of physics. Some of us also have to deal with the laws of Psychologists!However, I deal with a Psychiatrist, because they can prescribe medications.By the way, there is no cure to our illness. Worse than that, there is no treatment.We are disabled by our hobby and the world needs to understand and appreciate what we do. I don't understand why everyone else can't relate the price of something to the number of strands of lights that it is equal to.We all have a vision, and half the fun is getting there.
