If you decide to apply a wood preservative to the deck of your flat bed trailer, DO NOT FALL OFF THE TRAILER !!!!!

Bad stuff can happen.... Open compound break to the radius AND ulna... Becoming almost useless with one hand....

I was lucky I could phone a friend and get some MUCH appreciated help to get to emergency.... 8 or so hours later, I was home all stitched up....
All the folks there were ACES... From admitting to "GET OUT".... I've go about a dozen + staples holding the insides in... A few holding the hole closed where the bones stuck through the hide... All in all I'm pissed I lost my balance... It happened about 7 AM... 4PM, home and grouchy...
My typing is S L O W.... and lots of proofreading....

That’s really old school Dave. Can’t do that from the couch. I’m glad you are living life. Sad for you’re trouble and pain. That will take some time to heal. Are they going to have to do pins and screws? sending well wishes.

Ouch that hurt. When you do it you don't play around do you? Hope you heal quickly although we know it won't be all that quick but hopefully as quick as possible. Also hope the pain doesn't drag on and that they gave you good meds for it

Damn Dave! That sucks! Glad you got to the emergency room quick....and glad you didn't hit your head on the trailer on the way down! Heal up buddy....we ain't goin anywhere...
That thought crossed my mind also. For an unlucky situation, sounds like he got lucky as it could have been worse. Again prayers for a quick recovery.
