Good grief. Glad you're okay. But I thought you were supposed to trim xmas trees this time of year, not privet.

Always wear something on your head and safety glasses. Why you ask? Well, I was trimming back a large overgrown privet up on a step ladder, large limb cut loose where I wanted it to, but hit the edge of jerkboy's roof on his shack and flipped back and coldcocked me in the head. The do rag I always wear kept it from tearing the skin and all my glasses are safety glasses (I get them through work) and that saved the left eye. Happened so fast I couldn't jump off the ladder. Just dressed it w/ lemon verbena/ witch hazel toner. It's turning sriously purple already. That ought to start some 
rumors at work tomorrow - LOL.  Oh well.   So if you're gonna do any
heavy trimming over your head - words to the wise my friends! Be safe - 
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays & like that....
