Wow. Terry, thats just......man I dont really know what to say other than I am very sorry. I will certainly throw some cash your way. Thats just pure rotten luck man. And I for one can certainly understand if the GTG is a no go. Good luck and Godspeed man.

 

[grandpatractor]

Sorry to hear about this Terry. Don't worry about us . Just do what you need to do. And take care of yourself too. I know you feel bad.
We'll have you both in our prayers.

i am literally sick to my stomach at the thought of what happened. this is a really good guy that works hard and earns his pay. its hard to find that type of guy anymore. knowing that he is laid up and its my fault is crushing. at this point all i can do is put his name in every prayer chain i can find and gear up for coming weeks heavy load. his job will be there waiting on him when he heels . but from now on he will be the one in the skidder.

today was a slight set back at work. i dont know how much time in will have free i the next couple of months. i had an employee get hurt today. of course it was my fault that he got hurt and im sick about it. i had drug up a couple of trees at once with the grapple so he could top them. one tree was extremely bowed. picture a banana on its back with both ends stickin up when he cut all the limbs off of it. when i was backing up to the logs to haul them out he was walking away from them and i could not see him becouse there was a tree in between us. when i touched the tree it rolled over and the bowed up end hit him in the side of the leg breaking it. when it rolled onto him i jumped off the skidder and ran over to him. grabbed up the 346xp he was using to top with and bucked the log off of him. his leg was slightly curved when the log rolled off. i called in the emt and kept him as stable as i could till they arrived. after several hrs in the emergency room we now know that the tib is broke in 1 place and the fib is broke in 3 places. he had a knee replaced 4 months ago and was kinda slow getting around and this messed up the prostetic.i will have to carry the load of his work till he is healed up.(ill will try also to carry his pay to him just like he is still here god willing), so bare with me as i try and get thru this. if i can carry the load the gtg will still be on but if for some reason i cant i hope you guys can understand. right now making sure this guy has what he needs is going to be a heavy burden. paying the same wage and doing twice the work will be a strain at the very least.

Terry don't worry about us you go and take care of business. if the GTG is a no go then we can always set a other date for it. you just go and take care of business. My prayers are with you and your employee. i hope he pulls threw this hard time.

If you need anything you let us know. if you need a other worker or anything you give me a call i'll PM my cell number to you here in a minute

Not fun Terry. Not fun at all.

Sorry to hear that man. Hopefully all goes as well as it can.


If yer GTG gets cancelled / postponed it's no biggie. Life happens and sometimes you gotta put the brakes on and figure things out. I can very strongly relate to having to do that. Case in point, it's no biggie dude. Do whatcha gotta do and keep us posted. Take care of yourself, family, and your cutting partner. If we miss out because you're busy with life I doubt anyone is gonna look down on that. And fark'em if they do...

 

[Hedgerow]

Ugh... And it's fixing to get pretty warm too... Work mindfully Terry...

 

[tlandrum]

well my worker has got to have surgery tommorrow. the doctor said its bad but not as bad as the emergency room doctor said it was. the leg will have to be plated and screwed back together. the tib is shattered and has to be plated to hold it for healing. the fib just has one clean break about 2 inches below the knee ,but will be plated and screwed as well while there in there. ive said it a million times and ill say it again. it not a matter of if yourgoing to get hurt logging. its when are you going to get hurt and how bad will it be. maybe i can sleep tonight knowing that it can all be fixed and a few months of rest and he will be back to work. i may just have to turn this gtg into a charity event for him.

 

[wendell]

Sounds like an excellent idea.

 

[Hedgerow]

I'm thinkin' so...

If all business owners had the mind set you have the world would be a better place. You

a man is only as good, as he is good to others. id hope that someone would do the same for me some day if it evers happens that way. my plans are when the wiggs charity donations are over listing some things for the benefit of my worker to donate to. i just dont want to take anything from jeremy by starting another donation thread right now.

Ain't that the truth. It's just too easy to get hurt when there's danger all round you. Watching your back only goes so far. It don't matter how careful you are, theres just a million things waiting to go wrong all around you. Terry, accidents happen bro. Try not to get down on yourself, there's just to many "what ifs" in the woods for something not to go wrong sometimes.
I hope everything goes well with your buds leg. Good luck with everything.
