The Angle Grinder Massacre

10/26/2011

Owwww - That looks like it hurts!
Picture
We got a phonecall this morning from our neighbour that her builder Dennis had put an angle grinder through his knee and could we give him a hand please? So armed with sweet tea, rescue remedy, panadol and a snake bite bandage (we need to update our medical supply box), Flex and I took off on our rescue mission. Dennis was in good spirits if a little pale and was happy to have someone to talk to as the shock was probably starting to settle into his body.
After several hours at the local hospital we finally got to watch the wound being stitched up by a lovely English doctor - 5 perfect stitches. Watching the anaesthetic go in was the most traumatic part....ouch. I am sure Dennis will agree!
On our way back Dennis was so apologetic that he had 'wasted our day' - No way! This is the beauty of remaining open to learning at all times! We learnt about shock management, hypoglycaemia, mushroom farming, what 'audiology' means, wound care, how the people at Mad magazine view the world, patience (waiting, waiting), vending machine maths and spelling(!), that you should stitch up a wound starting in the middle and most importantly, how easy and staisfying it is to help someone out.
Just another funschooling day down on the freedom farm....
