Slight misadventure

Hey all
Just a short post to explain why I wont be at the gold expo and why there may be a few delays in the future.

So as some will know, I am moving from Vic to Qld. This means moving all my machinery. On Friday I was loading a metal lathe into a shipping container and it decided it wanted a last minute hug.
Well lets just say that didnt end well. I lay trapped for around 1 1/2hrs with feed handle piercing my groin mm away from femoral artery. Was flown to the Alfred hospital but other than a large wound and crush injuries, Im ok.
Should be back working in a week or so (possibly longer according to doctors but I figure its only a flesh wound) albeit very slowly.

OUCH!! That would hurt. No probs with the family jewels, lucky.
You never know whats around the corner in day to day living.

Geez SP hope you get well soon and have a speedy recovery, :Y:

Omg I am do glad you got through that mess

Get well soon :flowers:

Goody

Gee, that was lucky it wasn`t worse .

Hope you have a quick recovery , Pat.

Wow. Very fortunate. I hope all goes well from here on in and your recovery goes smoothly. Regards Rick

Shite! Bloody lucky to be even breathing m8!
Lucky you didn't buy the next size up lathe as well!!!!!
Best wishes it all heals 100%
Your meant to be on the front page news for a big Gold nugget instead!

Lucky ... I would be buying a Lotto ticket.... Crush injuries take quite awhile to heal... Take things easy... :Y:

LW....

All the best SP, hope the recovery is quick

Glad you're ok mate :Y:

Good luck with the recovery SP, close call which you can do without.

Yet another example of why moving to Qld may not be a good idea.

No seriously, youve got a lot mores swinging and beeping in front of you so get well soon

Damn glad you're OK SP.
All the best with your recovery and move :Y:

Sorry to hear SP. Let the world wait, recovery is more important. All the best.

Cheers

Doug
