Slashed my thumb open down to the bone chopping thru 2 tendons fixing a washing machine.
I wrapped it in a T towel, phoned the missus to come and get me and take me hospital, then finished fixing the washer with my left hand while I waited.

3 months off work and 2 weeks after I went back I fell over and bust my ankle. Plates, wires, screws, pins and a further 6 mths off work. I just got all my bad uns out of the way more or less at once.
Before that I'd managed more than 15 years in engineering without seriously damaging myself.
