About 45 minutes ago, I fell in the shop, the step ladder I was on collapsed, I fell from about 3 feet up, in between a milling machine and a drill press. almost 3 yrs ago I had massive reconstruction surgery on my right knee, well I can tell you thats not still “repaired’. I call the doctor, got his answering service, he called me back about 10 minutes later, he will see me on Monday at about 9 am, he said just come to the office, I squeeze you in. I bashed my left elbow, the one I shattered in 1993, is not feeling real good, huge mark on my right side and I may have broken my left thumb for the 3rd time.
Now the good news, during this incident, no machine tool, tooling or projects in progress were damaged. Neither the Bridgeport Mill or the huge Jet drill press, move at all. I did take me about 5 minutes to get back up on my feet, but no blood or missing body parts. I now sitting in the La-Z-Boy recliner with and ice pack on my right knee, another one taped to my left elbow.
looks like the drill bits will have to wait a day or two..........
