Been Gone A Long Time Jocks

WTF!! I hope the granite guys insurance paid and they got the boot from the job. That’s ridiculous. If your wrist wasn’t broken at the time I bet you would have punched them huh. I’m glad you’re both alright now and back at it. Be safe and stay away from idiots. They’ll get ya everytime

That sucks! Can’t beleive the granite people could be so stupid. This is one time I hope worker’s comp paid dearly. Glad to hear you’re back in the shop and both doing okay. I’m sure those idiots are high on your referral list…...... a list to stay away from! Good luck and welcome back.

Glad you are back. I bet you wonder what was going through the minds of the other workers. Did they have their ipods turned up too load?

Thanks guys and I’ll add this so maybe the ones of you that haven’t had a serious accident in your shop won’t.
Bills to date on my finger, over $21,000.00, bills on my wrist $4000.00. Bills on my friend’s wrist $8,000.00.
On my first visit to the doctor after the accident I met a young man that had lost a finger in his table saw. His bill was almost as much as mine and he had no insurance because he could not afford it. He said he had no idea how the saw got his finger and now he has to sell all of his equipment to help pay for his bills. This is sad and made me feel not so good. I told him there are ways out there to get financial help and try to work a deal with the hospital and the doctor before he sold his equipment. I’ve heard other woodworkers say their medical bills were even higher than ours. Be careful out there and stop and think before you take a chance with a power tool. If you’re on a job site be aware of your surroundings and other trades. They both will get you.

Glad you guys are on the mend and back in the shop, it makes me feel glad of our national health health service in Scotland were the ability to pay is not an issue as all treatment is free, quality of care can be a bit of a post code lottery but on the wholle the hospitals do ok. Its important to be aware of the acts and omitions of youself and of course the guys with granite between their ears, as we would call these characters this side of the pond “NUMPTIES” KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK AND BE SAFE.

kind regards
