Ah, no. I don't [BLEEP]
Oh.
OK
Just take some deep breaths, get some deep breaths.
We were trying to move it back.
And he slipped and the cap flew off.
And it caught him.
And it's rusted.
You got a lot of blood there?
Or no?
I didn't look.
I just put the cap back on.
This guy was doing some work on his horse corrals
back there.
Got these fence posts as you see around here.
He was trying to take the fence post right there.
But the white one, the little-- with put the cap on it, he--
something like this around his horse corrals over there.
And he was trying to move it around.
Apparently, it's real sharp on one end of it.
They're trying to move it up, and it slipped on him,
came loose, and cut his hand right here.
It's about big old horseshoe about the size like that.
All right here-- this whole thing just flapped all the way
back.
Might got a little artery or vein or something,
but he did good.
Got some direct pressure on it right away.
Kept the bleeding to stop.
Kept it above his heart.
And gonna send him on down the hospital,
and get it all stitched up, and be on to the next one.
