update pics of my head
« on: November 16, 2025, 09:53:03 pm »
It's been almost 2 months since my run-in with the dead tree. It happened on Sept. 24. I still have a little dizziness when I first lay down at night and when I first get up in the morning but otherwise things are almost back to normal...

and after

Ok, not the classic Frankenstein's monster look I was expecting. That's good.

I have to give thanks and credit to the 2 PAs that stitched me up. I think they knew what they were doing.

As far as a cracked squash goes, its looking pretty good Pat. Its frightening to realize how quickly things can go bad, and thankfully, this doesnt seem like its gonna hurt your looks much.

Yeah, Kevin the top of my head is ugly enough so that part doesn't matter. At least my face was spared.  ;D

Glad you healed up Pat.  Too bad they had to shave the top of your head for those stitches.  Seems like it should have grown back by now. ;D

Clint, I think it might have been worse if I had hair. As it was, my slick head deflected the offending log keeping me from having a fractured skull of internal bleeding. Anyway, thanks for your concern.  :OK

I'm glad it wasn't worse Pat.  Tree cutting accidents happen fast.  I've had some close calls with osage over the years but nothing anywhere near what happened to you

Clint, I've been cutting firewood safely for over 50 years and a dead pine, not part of what I was cutting, took me down. You just never know. And even with the severity of this accident I was extremely lucky it wasn't worse than a scalp wound.
