Wasps and Regrets *Graphic*

Post by Coon Gravy »

Ever have one of those slow motion moments when you say to yourself... Why did I do that? That was me about half way to the ground after thinking it was a reasonable plan to spray wasp nests from the top of a ladder above a concrete entry way. August 25th... just in time for hunting season :?

Got both sides...

Lateral repair.

13 screws and a plate later.

Just got back where I can walk again. Can't complain too much, at least I didn't break my neck. Hope you all had successful seasons!

Wow!
We all had and will have those less than creative thinking moments. You paid big time for yours.
Good luck on your road to full recovery.

Dang! That's gonna leave a mark. I'm sure it seemed like a good idea at the time. I wish you a speedy recovery.

That sucks. What is it with guys named Joe? Here's to a fast and complete recovery.

I'm no Dr, but that looks like its fairly serious. When ya get over 10 screws inserted into bone(s), its good for two notches on the man card. You earned em!

Sorry ya missed out on hunting season, I am also glad to hear you didn't break your neck man! Those wasps are evil, one of the worst in N.A. Next time please consider the flame thrower
