oh, chicken wire is the worst!! I don't know how many times I've gotten sratched while simply trying to unroll the wire!!! GRRRRR!! My husband laughs at me, because with all the scratches on my arms it makes him say that everyone's gonna think he's a wife beater, LOL!
I have done nothing short of extraordinary when building my coop. I bent down to pick up something (don't even remember what it was or if it was important), and I had a heavy duty 6 foot tall steel t-post fall on my head and shoulder and nearly knock me out. That'll be the last time I try to save one measly zip-tie... oh yeah! That's what I was bending over to pick up... Sheesh.
Um, I haven't done anything requiring a trip to the E.R. per se... I went anyways cause I tried to pass out when I was cleaning it myself. Don't ask me why, 'cause I have no idea, but I was trying to split a 2x4 with a hatchet. Well, needless to say, that didn't work, and I missed the main tendon in my ankle by a mere half an inch. It was a tiny wound, but deep. It was the shape of an eye, it was a sharp, clean cut, right through my denim jeans. I held it together with a band aid at first and then when I couldn't flex my foot upwards I decided I'd better see the doc. He said it was just the swelling but if I had hit just a fraction of an inch over, and hit a little bit harder, I wouldn't have been able to drive myself the hour to the E.R., that I wouldn't have been able to walk on it at all, because my foot would have been floppy. Lucky me!
