I thought as you get older you’re meant to be bit wiser?

However the old bloke up in the Heavens never mentioned that you also become more accident prone.

About 12 months ago I purchased a camper trailer, which came with a Travelmate jack. I was a bit surprised because these things aren’t cheap and are certainly heavy.

I went into the garage this afternoon, took it out off the box and, whilst I was looking at it on high, the bloody thing slipped out off my hands and landed on the toes. I was using Aussie safety thongs at the time!

Now I’ve got crunchy toes.

So it’s off to the Doc’s tomorrow morning to get them set.

Regards

Kim

Kim,
I have the same problem as you, I have to wear every sort of protective device at work it makes my head spin.

At home I become Mister Bean, I have always driven with bare feet, mowed the lawn with flip flops( I do wear boots when using a wipper snipper, but I can be a bit slack when I weld something.

I find drugs work as you don't feel the pain.

Have a undamaged foot free day

Ouch, I can sympathise with you, I have two sore toes which I got whilst working on the farm in my teens, (now some of you on here would know how long ago that was hehehe), I am probably still having problems with them as there was no DRs visits at the time.
Hope they get better soon.

Cheers

Every thing has a positive. If the jack had missed your toes and hit the floor it might have broken the jack. No medicare for jacks so you saved money.

My toes are throbbing in symphony / sympathy.

Gidday Wilko

Two of them are broken, and a bit swelling. The Doc told me there are 26 bones in that area of the foot.

Somehow I think I agree with him.

Kim

Sounds bloody painful Kim, sorry to read of your accident.

I'm probably the only bloke in Australia who doesn't currently own a pair of Aussie Safety Boots. Everyone who knows me takes the piiss because I wear my Blundstones (steel caps) EVERYWHERE I go.......even when I go to the beach!

Oh, I tell a lie; I don't wear 'em to bed and I do have a pair of black sand shoes I wear to my office job. But, anywhere outside or in the shed, it's ALWAYS the Blunnies for me.
