My Summer Camping and Fall hunting might be affected

To tell you the truth, when I read this story I instantly thought of you and worried you were trying to use your saw ..LOL...

A man was cut deeply in the forearm with a chainsaw after an incident in Russell Sunday afternoon but bystanders were able to help staunch the bleeding while first responders were on their way.

The 46-year-old man was hemorrhaging badly but quick-thinking witnesses did speedy first aid, applying multiple dressings, direct pressure and ultimately a tourniquet.

“These interventions made a significant difference in the amount of blood lost,” the Ottawa Paramedic Service reported. “When paramedics arrived, the bleeding was almost controlled.”

They were then able to stabilize the man on the way to the regional trauma centre at the Civic campus of the Ottawa Hospital.

Nope not me was out camping all weekend and never once tried to use the chainsaw. I wonder who it was.

So hows the recovery going ?

Not sure no pain unless I bump my elbow. But my fingers are still numb. Full up Dr appt in late June.

From what I read the numbness can take months to go away. I can live with that as long as the problem is fixed and the muscle is no longer wasting away. I'm right handed so I can still do a lot of things. I was shooting the 22 over the weekend so I can lift that.

Pretty much you can't tell that I had an operation but I can't lift much with my left yet and I'm not suppose to still.

So hows the recovery going ?
