My Garden has attacked me

Recommended Posts

OH has managed to get his hand on some wooden crates, which he has broken up for the fire and stored them in a covered pile by the french doors. However, one piece went astray and typically as bad luck would have it it was a piece with 3 nails in it, nails up :evil:

 

You can imagine what happened next, I was happily out the garden with the girls, filling their feeders etc whilst they were free-ranging. I was carrying a large bag of layers pellets and stepped on the piece of wood :evil:

 

The nails went straight through my crocs, thankfully pain instincts cut in quickly and I lifted my foot back up again. No blood was drawn, but I do have marks on my feet. I'm just grateful the wood attacked me and not my girls.

 

It was about 3 hrs ago that this happened and now my foot is starting to hurt :(

 

If no blood was drawn, I can't have done any proper damage, can I :anxious:

Oooh painful! I did the same on the allotment and the nail went straight through the crocs and my foot. Cue half a day spent in A&E waiting for a tetanus booster :roll:

 

Do check it did not penetrate the skin - those kind of wounds are so high risk for tetanus. If not you may still have bruised it. I couldn't weight bear on my foot for a week! :shock:

Please be careful. Wash it really well and if it has penetrated the skin get it checked out.

 

A friend is just recovering from septicemia - which resulted from an injury in the garden (rusty saw, cutting branch, slipped, cut knuckle, no blood) He nearly died, has only just escaped amputation and is off work for a month.

 

Sorry to be Cassandra - but his experience has shocked me!

Well the skin has been slightly broken :(

 

I'm not sure when I last had a Tetanus jab, so will phone my GP in the morning to find out.

 

OH is being very unsympathetic :roll: and is using the experience to get all his stand up material out. He reckons I am working for ITV on the quiet as they love Drama, and when I asked for a drink he offered to get me a Drambuie and whisky which anyone who knows cocktails will know is called a rusty nail :roll:
