A Tree, a Chainsaw, and a Tetanus shot

We were invited to a BBQ with our friends. However...one catch...we have to cut down a tree. Okay, not a problem. We were ready...chainsaws in hand, Jim was the director, and... ...the monkey in the tree. This didn't look good to me!!!! His wife, Michelle didn't think it was such a good idea either!

The next door neighbor came over with a "better" idea...just cut it down! Get set....

TIMBER!!!! And it was down...

It wasn't as bad as I thought. The chain saw did all of the work. You just had to start it and away it went...mmmmm.....maybe this one was stuck!

To get an idea of how big this tree was...it covered a good share of the yard...BUT...

Steve did the chain saw, and...after lunch...he said he knew he got a little tired...not a good sign..

NOTE: Jane said that no good story ends well that begins with...Your dad had a chain saw...

We were getting ready to leave and he walked toward me and I saw the rip and the blood...

Yesterday (Monday) he went to the doctor for a tetanus shot...

The doctor said the leg was a lost cause so...we think that they got the leg ready for him in record time...and he is doing very well with it...

OH and we had a great BBQ. I didn't realize how tired I was until we went to JoAnns and both Steve and I couldn't make a simple decision...Of course, maybe the blood loss had something to do with Steve's fatigue...

NOTE: He would say...oh...why did you say that? It was nothing and there was only about a teaspoon of blood! He is so predictable.

And since he did have to have the leg removed....

Note: No legs were replaced in this story....
