Re: Foot Caught In Lawnmower
I had the misfortune of running a lawnmower over a hidden tree root (Ash tree roots are surface dwellers) and the blade shattered.One frag hit the frame and then struck my leg on the rebound. It just missed the bone. It inflicted a 1/2 inch direct wound that quickly became 6 inches long due to "blunt trauma" .It took a month to fully scab over and longer to form skin. The whole lower leg was bruised instantly,but when it began to fade, the whole shebang faded quickly. DistyWAS evidence of internal bleeding in the leg,but that appeared long after it had stopped. I lost about 5% of muscle power in that leg and it can hurt after LONG exertion, like when I had to walk all the way from Brooklyn to mid-Manhatten on 9 - 11 - 2001. That, however, is a story in itself.
