Freak Garden Accident

Get well soon Nigel! hope you are feeling a bit better already and the road to recovery is a short one!

 

Back at work today and feeling better for it.

 

That's great news, on both counts

 

Sounds awful @NigelJ ....hope all goes well and that your recovery continues going well, take care.:bigthumb:

 

@Zigs
Thank's for asking, hearing has slowly returned and I have an audiology test on Friday followed by chat with doctor to find out how things are going. I want to know what happens to the scap oin the inside of the ear drum, it can't just drop off can it?

 

Good luck on Friday Nigel....fingers crossed all is well

 

Oh my gosh, how horrid for you. Glad you are recovering

 

Good luck with your recovery Nigel!

 

Good luck Nigel and a speedy recovery.

 

Wishing you positive Friday appointment.And a speedy recovery to full health

 

glad your better, but wow.

 

Surely syringing will flush it out? Mind you, I'm no expert either.

I must admit that I had a bit of a giggle reading Nigels original post as it reminded me of my own freak accident at work a few months ago.
I was using a valve spring compressor like the one below....................

The tool compresses the valve spring and holds it down because the tool has overcentred. So when it was compressed I bent down to make sure that the collets were properly located. At that exact moment in time for some reason it let go and part B smacked me in the nose with so much force that everyone in the workshop heard it. All that they saw was me staggering around with my hand over my face and blood pouring out everywhere! They sat me down and when the stars cleared I got up and went to a mirror fully expecting my nose to be totally mangled. Thankfully part A had fallen out many years ago and amazingly part B had gone straight up the nostril and smacked into the top of the maxilla plate. There is now a huge crater in my maxilla plate and a myriad of tiny fracture coming off it but thankfully I'm still as drop dead gorgeous as ever

 

@longk thank god you were ok, that sounds one dreadful experience -Good to read that you haven't suffered any long-term damage re your looks
