GRAPHIC: My big accident

[Jordan elder]

My big accident happened yesterday I have aquarium bits all over my bedroom to get into my wardrobe I have to stand on a 20kg bucket of salt but yesterday I slipped off and my leg hit my spare tank the glass cut a 3inch long hole into my leg going deep into the muscle. I went straight to the hospital where I waited 7 hours before going into surgery im luck I didn't hit my tendons or nerves or an artery it will be months before I will be able to get back to my usual self again so here's my warning don't leave aquarium objects allover the floor if my leg gets an infection I could loose it

Ouch

ouch, hope you have a safe and quick recovery. Ive skinned my pinky finger years ago carrying a 29 gal tank up the stairway and needed 6 stitches, seems like nothing compared to yours. hoping for a fast recovery for you!

 

[McMullen]

Oh! That's gonna leave a mark!

Wow, Good Luck recovering from that. It sure looks nasty. Prefacing your post w/ "GRAPHIC" is sure to grab the page views, I know I couldn't resist.

Holy moly! I know you said graphic but I wasn't sure if that was just a term and I should expect to see a bunch of dead fish or what. I guess it was "what". lol

And I probably should have put my sammich down before reading. :oops:

Guys!!! We have to be careful. I'm glad you're ok.

Wow that's bad! Glad to see your OK.

Hope this heals well for you and soon. Reef tank keeping just became a contact sport! Lol

That was a long wait! Where they hoping it would heal on its own?
Not what I was expecting to see when I scrolled down!
Hope that heals quickly
