Gardening is a DANGEROUS sport!

Hey I got injured too... a paper cut opening a seed packet

We are so graceful

You ladies need to come over here and help me out some... I'm wondering what I was doing wrong, now I want to know what the heck you guys are doing!?!??!

Ok... hubby has me on concussion watch tonight. So I'm going to take a long hot bath then to bed. He'll be waking me up ever 45 minutes just to make sure I didn't die in my sleep! :/

Well, I reckon I can't, even, go to work and leave you unattended. LOL
Hope you get better soon with the soreness and your restriction is lifted and they let you back in the garden.

OUCH! That's a sensitive spot to get hit in. Thank the Lord it didn't hit your eye.

Ouch!

Good thing you don't wear glasses. I cringed just reading your post. Look at it this way, by this weekend you will be back to working on that garden.

Wow! Hope you are feeling much better today! Those gardens are going to be fabulous- can't wait to see all the goodies you grow in them!! Get well soon!

Please, safety glasses are a must when using power equipment of any kind. An inch and a half either left or right and you could've lost your sight in one of the eyes. With one eye you lose your depth perception which means you'll have a hard time driving. You'd even have a hard time doing little things like putting a lid on a bottle the first time. Put a patch over one eye for an hour and see how far you get. Use safety glasses!!!

Safety glasses are cheap. Go to Lowes, Home Depot or Ace and get a pair and use them every time you use a lawnmower, weedeater, tiller, saw, or anything that has power. It's just not worth it to lose your sight. 'Nuff said!!! You've been admonished...

Wow, what an odd thing to have happen. I wouldn't have thought to wear safety goggles with the tiller, although I do for weedeating and stuff like that. So glad it didn't hit your eye!

Actually, at one point I put on my safety sun glasses.... since I was reminding after working for a few minutes. I took the darn things off to see the bolt on the handles I was trying to find and put back on. That's when the dang thing attacked!

I think it was planning it the whole afternoon! :/

Feeling much better today though.... Just cleaned and patched it up. Made it through work just fine.

Glad to hear you are healing up!
