Posted on April 17, 2013 //
By Mick I suppose that I should start at the beginning, with my accident at work in a joiners shop in 1985, when my hand went into a spindle moulder. I had comparatively minor injuries of broken and badly cut fingers and thumb. When I went back to work I had anxiety problems, followed by […]
