Mishap
I put a 3 foot wire fence around my flower bed in my back yard in order to keep the dog out. This evening I went to plant a couple of tomatoes since my first two tomatoes died. Instead of unhooking an opening in the fence I decided to just squish it down and hop over it. Somehow in the midst of doing that I fell backwards, cut my left leg to shreds on the wire, punctured my right palm, and nearly impaled myself in the back with a 2 foot metal stake that holds my tomato trellis in place. As I was lying in my flower bed unable to move my back hurt the worst. At the moment I don't feel anything on my back at all, but my leg is throbbing. I have yet to peek under my shirt to see what kind of bruising I may have. The picture doesn't do justice to how much blood was involved, since the cuts do reach all the way around to the other side of my leg. Next time I will unhook the opening and walk through.
