Don't be distracted when opening the Galley

We were getting ready to travel and I was going to do a last check on the Galley. Had the Galley opened partially I was startled by call for help from someone else - turned to see what the problem was and lost my control of the hood. The result was a pretty colorful arm and a muscle bruise that after 3 weeks is still 3" by 2" and a 1/2" high. I was thankful I did not break a bone and I was reminded that multi-tasking is never a good idea for me.

 

Oh my! That is not good! I'm glad it wasn't anything worse, although what happened was bad enough.

Whether it's a manufactured or homebuilt teardrop, you can still have some nasty injuries...We have a couple of friends who have had some serious injuries with their homebuilts. One had the hatch fall & hit her in the head...knocked her out, got a concussion. She was by herself when it happened...luckily, everything turned out okay. The other one had the trailer fall on him & crushed his leg...very long recovery on that one.

Glad to hear you are on the mend...you can now join Evan in the "Teardrop Injury Club."

Hope you continue to heal well.

 

Betsy,
thanks. I figure at 71 and my arm not breaking I have passed my bone density test with flying colors. It hasn't been really painful just wild colors and tender from wrist to elbow.
