Midwestman Posted May 31, 2018 Report Share Posted May 31, 2018 Was out chasing and hu ting feral goats on Tuesday,shot a nanny got to her and she had 2kids so decided too neck them in the process it moved and put my trusty Gerber straight thru my thumb. So good in fact got transferred from Orange Base Hospital to RPA in Sydney. The funny thing was Big Ozzie Jim rang me just after I done it had a quick chat but I'm all good other than surgery tomorrow and being in Sh#tney but also a big thanks to Hilldogs and Profty and there great you tube videos keeping me entertauned. You should've look on the inner west Drs and nurses when I told them what happened was priceless wish I recorded it ah city folk hahaha 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duncs Posted May 31, 2018 Report Share Posted May 31, 2018 I’ve got three scars in roughly the same spot! As a right hander, my left hand gets a bit “roughed up”! I’m betting you’re much the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midwestman Posted June 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2018 Thanks guys,I'm actually a lefty Duncs I always hold the few Al's with my strongest hand and cut with my right,maybe should change that hahaha. Still awaiting surgery. Yeah the city folk all squirm when I tell them,I enjoy the looks on there faces, the think I'm some barbaric redneck hahaha. But one of nurses is hot and Nepalese and she's like a farm I love farming and eating goats, so I said jokingly but meant it you can come back too my place and be my home nurse change dressing etc and I'll get you a nice goat and cook I feed up for you,she actually laughed and said I'm on holidays in 2weeks flirting so said perfect is it deal then. Waiting for a response back hahaha. I'll be healed right on time for Eildon and Dartmouth can't wait hahaha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
