The curse of sheddie

Strikes again. :C

Laid up again. This time half a tonne of 12mm plywood sheets fell over on my bad ankle. It ain't pretty. Did you hear my scream you Melbourne-ites? And I still feel nauseous.

This is similar to what I did to my left ankle in 1992. https://www.woodworkforums.com/attach...1&d=1186638426
My actual fracture had the screws and wire on both sides - a real mess. :o

When the ply sheets (cladding for the house reno) fell on me I heard the same crunching and grinding and really thought I was going to have a heart attack. SWMBO had an adrenalin rush (60years old) and lifted it off me enough to drag my leg out. I think she still cares. :-

I guess I can say the Reno got me.

Sheddie,

The forum crash test dummy:U:U

It is about time you hired a stunt double. Look after yourself man, and buy that lady a bunch of flowers for lifting the MDF off you

Ouch!!

Sorry to hear of your unfortunate misshap Shedhand.

May the Gods aid you in a speedy recovery.

Ouch, doesn't sound good Sheddie.

All the best for your recovery

Hope you get well soon Sheddy
And well done the missus...:2tsup:

But....

Tell us HOW it happened...
Tell us HOW the sheets fell over - be a lesson to those of us who stack sheets...

Take care Sheddie. Hope it heals well.

Does your ankle look anything like this?:C

She'll be a mess when she comes down off the rush after 60 years.

Lucky SWMBO was there, take care. I suppose you will start cornering the market on Epay agin :D

Bad luck Mike:( Hope you get better soon and get back in the shed:)

Strewth Mike! Could have been much worse, I suppose. Even so, ouch. :oo:

Its cladding for the house - 2700 x 1200 x 12mm Shadowclad Ply. It was standing against the shed and we took 2 sheets and put them on the house and I forgot to secure the other 27 sheets. The wind blew them over. I stood them up but the wind blew a strong gust and blew them over again and I couldn't move quick enough.
If I was a horse I'd be put down. :no:

Couple of weeks I reckon. I haven't said anything to SWMBO the ex, but I think I may have a broken bone. Its much too painful to be a sprain. I can't put weight of any amount on it and it throbs all the time. I hate hospitals now.:(
