on saturday i was moving some rocks whilst fencing and i crushed my right thumb. nail off and the tip is broken and now has been operated on and wired. i am going to be off for 2/3 weeks according to doc.

so, to make use of the down time i need sensible suggestions about how i can spend the time productively. any ideas? i'll trickle charge all the batteries, phone custies as they become due but wondered if others have suggestions?

also has anyone else suffered similar injury? how long was the recovery?

and i had a really busy month planned. will cost me about £3000

go knocking

with the good hand   

[bobby p]

not sure if you can shove a leaflet in a door 1 handed

[Carl2009]

i'm pretty full to be honest. no need to knock.

[andyM]

Im pretty sure I would find a way to be able to work with a thumb injury.
Probably wouldn't be quite as fast but I could still get something done.

[matthewprice]

Mate don't risk it my partner did the same run big risk off infection
He nearly lost his thumb .go on holiday ,you can always catch up.

All the best

[Carl2009]

there's no way i can work. can't grip, can't drive, can't get it wet, can't risk infection. can do end of year accounts, advise custies so i don't lose them, rest the wrist strain i had on same hand, research and buy new equipment needed thus getting best price and enjoy a few days off when weather is good rather than when it's pouring like i usually have to.

Then just enjoy the weather mate; the customers will still be there in three weeks time; take it easy mate and relax

Get a man to do your job. You will pay him the bigger part of the profit. This way you won't miss the customers and the whole sum of the wages. I think this is a good compromise.

[Carl2009]

Mmmh, I don't think it's practical to get someone in to help me, for so many reasons.

[Jeff Brimble]

Drinking hand ?
Hard luck your stuffed for a bit, chill.

sorry but I had to smile at that!!

[A & J Owen Window Cleaning]

get the family involved get them knockin doors for ya get the lead and you give them the price. and ring your customers and explain the situation mate.

[brianbarber]

Look at your round, maybe you can re jig, re organise so it works better when you start again,

Are you going to just miss a cycle and inform custies?
Or just start where you left off?

if you were nearer and i wasnt so busy i would have given you a hand,

its a nightmare when you injure yourself in this business, i nearly kneecapped myself the other day
when i was helping my sister move some stuff and this rafter fell on me, (long story) i was limping for half an hour!

on a different subject do you fancy swapping links to your website?

[windiewasher]

I worked with a broken wrist.radius bone broke in 3 places.got help aswell.
If you can get help get it.you can go round with them and make sure job is done correctly m8

[Carl2009]

hi pureclean,

happy to trade links. will speak to the woman who does my site.

cheers

[Jeff Brimble]

Best I can come up with is to bolt/fix a swivel cup to your wrist plaster to take the butt of a pole.
