Had an accident at school

[WHC-125 4]

I hurt my left arm pretty bad at school in shop and cant use it for 6 to 8 weeks because I went to open the outside door in shop and my arms went through the glass and cut my left arm really bad to the point were you can see the bone and I cut the tendons that you use to move our fingers with and I had to go into surgery for 3 and a half hours.

Sorry to hear that, hopefully you're right handed otherwise you've really got problems. Take care.

Man I am feeling for you Chris...........

I am really sorry to hear about that. Rest up and get yourself better soon!

[fireman 1,022]

We'll like they say: If your going to do something, go big or go home! I guess you did both

Get well soon.

Take a little advice from someone who knows. When you go for physical therapy make sure you do what they say. You don't want to lose any dexterity, strength or range of motion! You'll regret it later on in life. Been there, done that, and got the T-shirt!

Hope you heal fast & remember "chicks dig scars"

Chris hope you get better soon, hope everything heals the way it should! can you run your 125 with only one arm or should we find you an electric lift??? i'm sure there are enough guys here that would bolt one on for you if we can find u one.

heres wishing you a full and quick recovery man.

[VinsRJ 723]

Chris wish you all the best.... and make sure you heed the advice from the physical therapist. We'll all pray for a "hot-one" for ya :notworthy:

[rmaynard 16,293]

You know, glass doors in a school building are not supposed to break like that. Make sure someone looks into any code violation. All door glass in a public building is supposed to be tempered so that it breaks into pebbles.

Having said that, best wishes for a speedy recovery. Follow what's been said about rehab. It really works.

keep your chin up my friend because things like that seperate the men from the boys and we know you can handle it so stay strong

[WHC-125 4]

Thanks alot guys for the support I am keeping my head up high and staying strong. And yea I wonder why the glass broke like tha as well too. Also, I might have to take a few of you up on those offers. again and I will keep you all updated.

Chris,

Kathy and I are wishing you the best and your in our prayers. I had a thought, do you think Duke could build you a new arm?? It would have lights, electric lifts, heated, and best of all be red!!!

Get better soon, and a lot of folks gave you some real good advice!

[TJ 184]

Get well soon.

That is tough, Chris. I will be praying for you- specifically that your arm heals, and that you have full use of it after so much damage. You are awful young to be hobbled up. Blessings to you.

[Duff 206]

Chris, Sandy and I are praying for a quick and complete recovery for you. Like the guys said, pay close attention to the physical therapy when the time comes, and do raise h*ll with the school system for having what are probably non-code doors. Can't change what you're going through but it could save someone else in the future!

Best wishes always,

Duff :notworthy:

Hope everything works out well for you, Chris. Take care of yourself and don't try to overdue it. You'll be in our prayers for a quick recovery. :notworthy:

[truckin88 104]

good luck man hope you get better soon!

[bmuone 15]

Sorry bout your accident Chris. Sounds as though it could have been worse. Did someone step up and help you out at the scene? All that safety education in that shop class and the dog gone door lowers the boom. Shows how fast stuff happens in this ole world. Follow those words of advice above and especially the Dr's orders and you'll do ok. Hope all your tractors have electric start!
