Destruction Happens

As some of you know, Cdub and I started a
destruction project a hundred years ago awhile back.
Things have moving been slow but were moving along.
Until last Tuesday.

Things came to a screeching grinding halt!



That large black object aka a gun safe

on the left in the photo below fell on
Cdub's right foot. All six hundred pounds of it!

!!!!WARNING!!!! The following pictures are

not for small children, weak stomachs,
those who cringe or easily puke.





Poor Cdub! OUCH does not EVEN come close!



I am just so thankful it was not any worse.



But after a nice joy ride in the ambulance to the hospital and tons of x-rays, Cdub came home with only all his toes broken (some of them multiple).The patient is resting and healing nicely. Complete recovery time is about six months.



And that big black object has found it's home
and will not be falling on any more toes.


STUFF HAPPENS!

Scared me to death when I heard about it.....I can't imagine what YOU must have been feeling:/ SO glad to see that he is up and around now. But then again, you KNEW he wouldn't be down for long!!!

BTW - OUCH!!!!!!!!!

Caution/Lisa said...

Oh, that poor, poor man! He must be mighty tough. Six months though?? That's a long recovery time for both of you :(

Mental P Mama said...

ONLY broke all his toes???? That is just awful, but I hear you...it could have been way worse. Hugs to CW!

Poor guy!! I'm hoping they did an MRI along with the x-rays. If not, demand it on your next visit. Just a word to the wise...

Also if he is non-weight-bearing, knee walkers are awesome:)

Daryl said...

GAH .. he needs a pedicure for sure when this all healed .. Poor you, I am sure your heart was in your mouth til you saw he was going to be okay ... (((NoeNoe)))

Nessa said...

I had to scroll really fast past the pictures. I am a weak stomach person. We have one of those gun safes too. I can't imagine it on a foot. Owie!

joanne said...

Unknown said...

OUCH! I can't even imagine the pain that poor man is enduring. I stub my toe and cry like a banshee.

Honestly, I can't wait to come to VA in July. Maybe I'll stay a few extra days and see if I can help you guys in some small way. Cook? Laundry? Eat ice cream?

Take it easy, C-Dub...seriously! Mega ((((((hugs)))))

Dianne said...

ouch! a million times ouch!

I'm glad he's going to be OK

hugs to both of you

Together We Save said...

Oh my word! How painful. Glad he was not hurt worse.

Christina said...

Sorry to hear this happened and thanking God it wasn't much worse. Hope he feels better soon.

Flea said...

OUCH! And I'm with Daryl on the pedicure. In fact, you should probably have one in his honor sometime soon, just to make him feel better.

Diane said...

Poor Cdub! And poor Noe Noe!
Thank goodness it is just the toes.

I bet Cdub can get that spiffy looking chair going pretty fast! Did you get a ride yet?

((cdub and noe noe))

Country Girl said...

Oh, no. Oh my stinking heck, too. Crap, damn and shit. That sucks.

Sorry I cursed.

Travis Cody said...

Honey, that took my breath away. I am so sorry that happened to Cdub. I pray that he will heal quickly.

T said...

Holy crap girl!

So glad to hear he's ok....cement that safe into the ground!

HalfAsstic.com said...

Shit! I am from Texas and a gun owner myself, so you surely know my feelings about the whole gun ownership issue, but, maybe those anti-gun lobbyists really were on to something... HA!
Poor Cdub, I am so sorry and I hope his recovery is swift.

Suz Broughton said...

Ooooouuuuuccccchhhhh!

Meg McCormick said...

Good Gawd. Poor guy. I can only imagine the pain. Hope he's on the mend by now...

Flea said...

It's been a bit. Is the foot mending well?

Unknown said...

Oh my word Noe Noe! That looks so bad. Poor baby! You know I will be praying for him for sure!

Unknown said...

Cannot imagine the pain he had to endure!!! :(
Sending warm healing wishes!!!!!

Nezzy (Cow Patty Surprise) said...

Poor fella! That's sure some booboo! I pray his recovery is very speedy!

You have yourself the best day!!!

TJ said...

Oh my goodness! Hubby did something similar when he smashed his finger between 2 concrete filled ballasts. The pain our men take. Hope he is healing well.

~JarieLyn~ said...

Oh my gosh, that sure is a horrific accident. Poor hubby. That really looks like it hurts. Six months is a long time for recuperation. I hope he is doing okay considering the circumstance.

My best to both of you.
