Woops.
I Got one this past Dec ‘22 almost like it, except my leg almost got taken completely OFF! Bad part was I didn’t even do it to myself, we were clearing smaller trees out of the way to get some equipment into a tight spot, one of my crewmates had the big saw about 3ft left of me, another was about 3ft right of me and the one on the left bucked when it hit something, the very tip of the bar came right across my lower left leg just below the knee, took out my muscle, tendons, ligaments, peripheral nerve and broke the fibula. The surgeon thought it would be a 2 hr surgery, until he got into it, ended up 6&1/2 hrs reattaching everything and 3 nerve grafts, I still can’t feel half of my lower leg, can’t flex my toes or foot up towards me, can’t feel half of my foot either. I didn’t cry, Definitely went through a lot, very painful procedures in the ER with no pain meds, I said a lot of awful things, but didn’t cry. My Dad always told me that I was a woman with a truckers vocabulary. An I let ‘em have it that day, and for a few weeks later.
