So plastic surgery is a non-starter as a future career then?

For me? Not a cat in hells chance

For the nurse? Think she'll do really well... the consultant was impressed with the job she did cleaning it yesterday and also with todays stitching

That picture was from last night...

Al..what was the time gap between the accident and then the stitches 

[05omegav6]

About 8 hours...

Today's efforts, some 20 hours from 0...

Goo is antiseptic vaseline

Harris, I have just been informed by a mutual friend that this accident was NOT caused by a grinder at all.
He informs me that the cuts were sustained when you were kissing your girlfriend.....and she shut her legs and broke you're glasses!

Get well soon.

Next time I see her, I shall be sure to tell her what you said

All done and back to functional normality thanks in no small part to Nick

Holy moly TA. You don't need anyone to tell you you've been a lucky f***er there!!! Very glad you're ok. I learned to use a grinder a couple of years back (through help from you guys) and I remember DTM saying about wearing gauntlets and a face mask. In the past I've been rather flippant with elf n safety but I am now very safety conscious especially after a couple of close calls. Always wear a face mask. No ifs or buts. 

On an aside this has reminded me of a quote from the James Hunt biography I read a little while ago. When Hunt was talking to Niki Lauder after his near death accident......

"Niki, you're the only guy I know who could survive being in a fireball and come out of it better looking.........

Your not supposed to head butt the spinning disc

Was more a case of running out of space to avoid it, but good point well made

I presume you were lying on your back under the car on ramps. It' a good thing human eyes are recessed. It sounds like you were able to seek aid yourself and calmly await its arrival. I guess you were wearing goggles but not a face mask because of space restrictions. You were doing a 'simple' exhaust job and hit a snag, the sort of thing tyre and exhaust shops must meet every week.

Forgive me Al, I am rambling. I have been there, with my guillotine blade incident; I empathise. Soon you back under cars. aware that life is a risky business, and that you are your own safety officer. Get well soon.

Thank you Terry

All of the above except glasses rather than goggles...
