Not broken or busted just badly bent and back to work. However moving a bit slower at the moment, taking a 15 minute ish recovery break. So it wasn't a 2x4 and no blood thank God! 🙏
So I got into a kerfuffle (in the words of Judge Judy) with a 2005 Ram 1500 and a 7½ western pro plow and won I think! This 24" Pittsburgh Cresent wrench & I were working on the bend that was here when a friend helped us out of a tight bind end or last season when our blade literally broke in ½ Thanks again brother George!
Well the bend fought back and gave the wrench a good shove, and to my surprise 😮 🫢 the wrench let loose and away went the ride. I fell back into the truck from a squared position, into a curly cue on the too of my head. I slammed into the plow bracket with such a big thud, you would of thought it blew up but was only my head. The plow light sent a skull shot to the back of my head, and the mount sent rib shot so they thought I was dead. Then the truck jump in to finish me off, stabbed me in the spine, and tried to rip my arm off.
By this time I had a choice to make as I sprang to my feet, do I reach for my coffee or go to the wifey! ( I love you Jody Lynn Barkley). Well to the wifey I went, with as much haste as I could muster. Because the breathing was growing shorter and the vision was a blur. I got to the house almost went down on the ice, my shoulder didn't have enough time to even register the pain. Just push yourself off and go at it again. Into the house and begging for help I did plead, when I was ½ way to the floor because the wind was gone and could not breath.
Wifey helped with my coat, wifey helped with my shirt, while my face and my head where on the floor as I was almost asleep. I needed to be checked to see where I may bleed!! 1 more shirt as wifey was getting mad, well I couldn't answer not breath to be had. I tried to say wait but no words came to speak. Ok now I am just about to freak.
When a breath of dog feet filled my lungs, I finally thought of breathing air into my lungs. ( knocked the wind TF out of me! Fell into the frame horn, hit the spine & up under the ribs at bottom of rib cage) as I gasped at does feet and started to sit up, thought wifey was about to give me a cuff. Well I finally could talk and said I need a sec please, I can barely take air I'm fighting to breath.
Well she is asking about 911, and I started to breath
I have Jerry11, baby you can take me 🤣🤣. So I start to explain that I blasted the plow, & the truck suckered me some how. When I realized 😳 what just happened, I was happy to not have been flattened.
A light to the head & 1 to the shoulder, then an old grill mount to the spine, & a mount to the elbow. On to the frame horn then my glasses did fly, straight up in the air 10 ft and landed at my side. The wrench did come down with OH what a cladder thank GOD 🙏 it miss me by a mm so my right eye didn't splatter! The sitter of it all, was my coffee got spilled, and I didn't even get a chance to take a drink. Steam when everywhere, and the s n o w did turn brown. As the coffee, the wrench, my glasses, and me all hit the ground. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
