ouch! get well soon ..

Sorry to hear about your accident. Glad it wasn't worst than what happened. You have some big blood vessels in your leg and as Tec says, if you cut those you bleed to death real quick.

I had a stupid accident years ago working on my 65 chevy SS. Can't rember the actual details but I was standing on a pail to work on my 327 while the engine was running(had a back problem back then and it was easier for me to stand on something taller). The pail moved and my shirt got caught in the fan belt and lost a good deal of my little finger on the fan itself. Could have been alot worst.

Ahhhh one of the fun things about our car hobby/obsession - an occasional session with the doctor to stop that sticky red stuff from leaking all over our fresh work. In over 40 years I've been lucky enough to have only made a couple of necessary trips to get things sewed back together - and they were in the past 3-4 years. One was a failed (new) hack saw blade that slammed my wrist into my work, the other, a sharp edge on the underside of my car - two scars on my left arm to remind me to be more careful.

I'm sorry to hear that you hurt yourself hope you are well on your way to recovery

It doesn't seem to bother me but I thought I'd stay out of the garage for a few days so it doesn't get infected. Thanks for the good words. Instead we started out at 3am yesterday morning and climbed Castle Mountain, got home at 11pm. I was so tired last night and so sore today. The one picture is my friend Tom 52 years old going for the final pitch to the summit 4800' up.

Beautifull Area! I bet the grinded spot hurts a bit more after that climb. Glad to hear your ok.
