Cautioary tale of a fractured wrist
Typing this with my left hand due to the fact that the other is incased in a
plaster cast. Drilling a 15mm hole through an external cavity wall, the drill bit jammed and the drill kicked back. I don't know what I could have done to avoid this, since I was holding the drill firmly, using the auxilliary handle too. It hurt at the time, but throughout the day my right wrist got more and more swollen and painfull. Went to A & E, where an X-ray revealed a broken bone. It still bloody hurts this morning - but how long to heal guys? W were supposed to be going off next week on the boat, but at the moment I couldn't even lift a lock key, let alone work any of the dozens of locks along our planned route. |
