Not for the faint of heart



These are a couple of pics of Bryce's leg. He won't exactly be running any marathons in the near future. I don't think the pictures truly do justice to the beautiful colors that I see face to face but at least you get an idea. I didn't get the inner portion of his leg in the picture which completes 3 exact sides of a rectangle. You can see the perfect dimensions of the trailer based on the wound. Many people weren't sure what exactly happened so the short story is that while driving a forklift on an incline, gravity pulled the forklift(which was loaded with a heavy palette of cement) backwards and even with the throttle all the way forward there was no stopping it. It smashed him between the forklift and a trailer and the trailer had 2 bolts which punctured his leg. He was stuck there for several minutes because no one knew what to do and no one wanted to move anything off of his leg for fear of bleeding or anything else. His ankle was at a wierd angle when he was stuck and that it was bothers him the most. His leg doesn't exactly straighten or bend the way it should so walking is an issue. Kadence does a great impression of how he walks...I will have to get it on video for everyone to see!
