Hospitalised

Had a bit of a silly accident yesterday whilst trying to bash a hole in the side of the house to connect up the electric cable for the new gites.

I'd finished bashing a rock out and then accidently broke a nearby outside light glass globe with the coal chisel as I drew my hand back, and consequently pulled my wrist onto the broken glass. There was quite a bit of blood gushing out so with thumb pressed firmly over the wound a rapid trip to the hospital.

The doctors saw me immediately as I was dripping blood over their reception floor and - to cut a long story short - patched things up with surgery that evening.

Luckily I'd missed an artery and just partially cut through a tendon and sustained a bit of muscle damage. An overnight stay and back home this morning bandaged up and some pain.

It was a bit of a freak accident, but a valuable lesson learnt. I'm now out of action for about three weeks!
