    Default How long until I can squat

    Hi Mark,

    I had an accident while repairing some fencing on my property and ended up with a dozen staples on my scalp. The laceration was over 2 inches long. No broken bones, but a good deep puncture in one place.

    For anyone interested, I was driving a t-post into the ground and the weighted post driver rebounded out of my hands and hit the top of my head.

    How long should I wait to start squatting again?

    Thanks,

    Tom

    Been there, done this. Gave myself a concussion and bleed like a pig. Glad you're ok to tell the story.

    Put the hard hat on before you get out of bed, don't take it off until you lay back down at night. A bloke never knows what can happen to him.

    Yep. All roughnecks wear a tinny especially the tool pusher. I prefer the full brim type not those pissy brimless caps we were issued with.
