I wasn't sure where to post this...
medical? homestead? goof up!
thank You Lord is a pretty good location.
I change out implements on the tractor on occasion. changing a box blade to a disc to a mower to a ??
anyhow, my usual procedure is to leave tractor in neutral so that I can move it/roll it just a tad to get the lift arms attached.
the whole procedure is a hassle... I need to get 1 tractor per implement! when I win the lottery.
yesterday, I'm helping neighbor and am disconnecting a heavy disc harrow... big hassle. heavy pc of equipment and it don't roll..
some things I can lift a little to "maneuver" to the lift arms or remove from the lift arms... not this one. the discs are dropped into the ground. and it aint moving. I finally got it loose! and the tractor rolled backwards. toward the disc.. that would not have been a problem, except my leg was between the disc and the harrow. I had parked on a slight incline. I can usually grab the rear tire and roll (push) the tractor to aid in this process... I'm standing on one leg the other is trapped... I get shoe in the way, as I envision foot being crushed. shoe is tennis shoe and it is collapsing. but this short time period allows me time to get the free leg better braced so that I can stop the rolling... and when you are scared/praying/desperate/etc.... even old men do things in a hurry!
there were a number of errors.
and lessons to be learned. if the shtf there would be little medical resource for a crushed ankle/foot/leg.
there was no one nearby. I'd left cell phone home charging...
so, as I sobered up from adrenaline rush. I say
Thank You Lord.
guys, be careful out there. and I need to get to Know Him better!

RR, glad you're okay.
It's funny how what appears to be a little task, that you've done hundreds of times, can go so wrong-so quickly.
I do understand how things that normally move slow can move quite quick when needed, lol.
Thank God for His angels watching out for you that day.
