While I was in my greenhouse today I reached over to get a plant that was behind a cactus. I didn't notice one of the branches was behind the cactus which is in a pot way too small for it .. so the cactus tipped over and fell onto my chest. OUCH! My first instinct, which thankfully only lasted a pico second was to jump back .. I didn't and I grit my teeth through the pain to analyze where I was being punctured and felt that some of the spines were in pretty deep. If I had jumped back I'd be removing spines from my chest at this moment. I couldn't use my hands to extricate the cactus so I looked around and grabbed the watering can and used the neck to remove it. Luckily no spines were left .. but boy am I sore!
This was almost as bad as when a swarm of wasps attacked me while I was trimming the rose hedge, fell into the hedge, got tangled up and then got hit by lightning!
I'm really not a klutz. These things only happen every few years thankfully.
