I am building a retaining wall in my back yard to help level it out so I can put up my son's Swingset. Well, i was using an Eastwing Framing hammer. Except the one I was using is 28 ounces. Well, I am hammering in the 12 inch landscape spikes into landscape timbers. So far i have built a 48 foot wall with no problems, no hit fingers, no bent spikes, etc: that is until Saturday afternoon. I am out there swinging away at the last spike of the day, and I MISS!! Not only did I miss the spike, but the hammer flipped out of my hand, and continued down in a perfect arch to nail me right in the...................................................
SHIN!!!! OW !@#$%^&*!@#$^!%#$!@#!
Now i could not actually say waht I wanted to at the time because my 3 year old son was out side playing, and right now he is a tape recorder, replaying everything he hears, and I could not have him repeating what I wanted to say, in church on sunday.
Now it did not hit directly on the bone either, insted it hit just to the inside of the bone, not only making contact with the bone hard enough to just paralyze me for a minute or two, but it also impacted the muscle there as well, and pushed it to the side.
Now I have a nice colored knot there, and every time I bump it I want to scream.
