[QUOTE="Lefty, post: 160216, member: 2976"] I won't be at Lowmead for a while, sitting here typing one-handed with my arm in a sling :( Positioning a tractor bucket to re-attach it today when one of the legs holding it up buckled and bent suddenly. I was holding the bucket arm, my left arm almost straight. The sudden drop of a 200kg object hyperextended my arm, it made a horrid popping and cracking sound. Radiologist says it ain't broken but doctor thinks there's probably some tendon damage, hopefully not too severe. I was considering going for a dig this weekend, won't be happening now nor for about a month at least. I need to rest it so hopefully it recovers enough for me to dig up at Mount Gibson in about 4 weeks. Could have been worse I guess - had the thing fallen further it could easily have broken my leg. But I console myself with the fact that I have discovered that I can still facet, will probably go through a bit of material over the next month while I can't dig. [/QUOTE]
