Amazon 7 #1 May 11, 2009 The product of a kickback while limbing large limbs from a tree in my yard... first chainsaw injury I have ever had in over 40 years using the things... Amazing how fast it chewed thru my jeans then my knee... I should have taken pictures when it was wide open.. and the nurse was digging wood chips out... and feeling the groove in myf kneecap that is now there. Good thing it was not running full out... this sucka hurts..... even with the good drugs.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Heal fast, Jeanie Doc Well this one is gonna be a hell of a scar.. not the nice cosmetic one I have on my other knee from the removal of my medial meniscus... that one was an Air Farce doc who was getting out in 6 months and was really glad to practice his skills for later in civilian life.

For me it's chaps, glasses & earplugs before I pull the start handle.
