I know what your mean, but in my case I was lucky. Last night as we were getting ready to head to bed, my wife asked what that mark was on the top of my right leg. I said it was a chain worm. She asked what is that. I told her it what happens when the chain on a Stihl 044 rips through two layers of Carhart double front pants and bruises, but doesn't cut the skin. It is a constant reminder that life is risky.
I wish you well on your recovery. I was always impressed by Ken Self who was the CEO of Freightliner Trucks in the 70s. His car crashed on an icy road and he lost his right arm. He adapted well and never let it slow him down. He had a great positive attitude and that will serve you well.
Do you think a pair of chaps might have helped that?
Do you wear them now?
They were required by the timber company I worked for when we went out to cut firewood. And for the loggin crews during regular work.
