1211173 2011-06-22 10:42:00 A warning to the Home Handyperson! 'PJ' is in hospital, after having a rather nasty accident yesterday, as he was attempting to cut some wood .

The piece of wood had a knot in it, and PJ pushed against it too hard . . . the wood shot through, and so did his thumb and index finger . When I rushed outside, PJ was on the point of collapse and when I looked at the damage, it was a toss-up which one of us would pass out first! St . John Ambulance guys were so great, as usual .

Due to 2 other drastic emergency operations at the hospital, it was 11 p . m before John went in to theatre, and 2 . 30 a . m when he went back up to the ward . The chief surgeon will examine the repairs tomorrow, and if things don't look good, John will have more surgery . Here's hoping that won't be necessary .

This morning, I SOLD both of PJ's electric saw's, to a friend, with PJ's permission . Even LOOKING at them made me feel ill . Thankfully, PJ is coping well at the moment .

1211181 2011-06-22 11:38:00 well, that turned my stomach.

I hope he is doing alright, That will be a horrible injury.

Let me know if you need anything, I'm not in Wanganui very often anymore but if you're in a jam I can help out.

A mate's dad did pretty much the exact same thing a few years ago, blood everywhere apparently! He lost a thumb and most of the index finger.
