Really sorry to hear about your misfortune Terry. A good friend of mine dropped a log with his loader a few days ago and nearly killed his dad. He is still in pretty bad shape and not sure how it will turn out. These things are going to happen in this line of work the best you can do. No need in beating yourself up about it. You are doing more than 90% of loggers would be doing for a hurt employee and I commend you for that.
If there is anything I can do to help you guys out dont hesitate to ask.

Terry How did the surgery go. Don't work your self to death.

 

[tlandrum]

didnt get out of surgery until about 6pm last night. they got the leg pieced back together but they are worried about the swelling cutting off circulation. i think if they can get the swelling under control things will be ok.

I am convinced that trees are out for us. I had a downed sapling swing back and hit me three weeks ago, out cold on a running tractor. Only a moderate concussion and two weeks of no work. In my mind I went over everything that happened, and I simply believe that there is no way to stop all accidents from happening. Please don't beat yourself up over this, things will always happen that are out of our control. On another note, if you truly think you can go through with the GTG, let me know. I have the 15th off and the 11th-14th are optional work days. I wouldn't have a problem working with you and helping set things up so that you can bring in some much needed relief for your help. Mind you, I need very detailed instructions when working for someone else........just ask my wife:msp_biggrin:

dang i'll be praying for him and you. Terry if you need any help what so ever you give me a call i sent you a pm with my cell number in it.

 

[Chris J.]

Terry, sorry to hear about the accident, hopefully your employee will fully recover from the surgery. Don't beat yourself up, take care of business first, and if the GTG has to be postponed, so be it.

Maybe you could figure out a way to turn a GTG into putting a bunch chainsaw nuts to work to benefit your business & your employee? I have no idea, but it's a thought.

Let me know if I can help in some way.

well he has not been released from the hospital yet. today for some reason he had a 103* fever.also the swelling hasnt stopped yet. they are giving him some anti inflamatory medicine and keeping him on some hi po pain meds. hopefully he will get stabilized and sent home soon. i may turn this gtg into a fundraiser of sorts. i just need to figure out how to go about it. i have several items that i will be raffleing off after the wiggs charity is over. i have a few toys that i will be parting with and sending the money his way. i will get things going on it asap. right now i have enough wood for the gtg other than the cants. i have enough wood for a big gtg. i believe the gtg is still a go and so is the 4 cube build.

 

[MacLaren]

Right now lets just pray and hope they get that fever gone and the swelling down.

 

[Jwalker1911]

If anybody would be passing by on the way I can find some wood big enough to make cants

rick you need to figure out how to be "IN" tn on junes 16th :hmm3grin2orange: your a regular around here and it wont be the same without you. heck you were first to arrive at the last 2 gtg's.

 

[zogger]

Man, I am sorry to hear about your worker and what you have to do now. You're a good dude to keep him in cash during his recovery.

Just don't hurt yourself trying to do two guy's jobs, then you'll be no good for either of you.

LOL,,, the I'm in is for the fundraiser,,, I will do what ever the the Good Lord allows me to do,, to help,,,

There is an outside chance I can make the GTG and I have the vacation days for travel scheduled,,, it just depends on what happens @ my real JOB!!! and not my stump/tree removal extra job,,,,:msp_smile: Just dont want to get my hopes up,, if I can get off I plan on being there early as usual,,,

Rick, if you're able to make it, & you're leaving from home, let me know. I've got two reliable vehicles that get decent gas mileage, both 4 bangers. My wife will be on summer vacation, so she can look after our dog zoo, etc.

 

[dh1984]

[SawTroll]

Hope every thing works out for the helper and you too Terry!
