Bad Accident Involving Knifemaker Jeff Diotte

[Normark]

Hey Guys...

Anyone that knows Jeff at all knows, he's an avid hunter...

Last Friday while taking down his stand Jeff slipped and fell from over 20 feet, badly breaking both bones in his right leg, between the knee and ankle.

Paramedics and firefighters found him, extacted him from the bush,and rushed him to the hospital where he had surgery to his badly damaged leg.

Jeff is now at home and doing well, although he is in a severe amount of pain.

Please send your thoughts and well wishes to Jeff for a quick recovery, and I will print this out for him to read..

Thanks

Eric...

Best wishes for a speedy recovery ... and as long as you're not going anywhere, you can make a few more knives ...

Tell Mr. Jeff I am sorry he got hurt and hope he's back to speed real soon. Tell him the guy in Texas that bought the stag from him sent his best wishes. Kevin Buck (fuzzyedge)

Sorry to hear the news Jeff. You are going to have to be a bit more careful, tree stands can be dangerous. A friend of mine fell asleep a couple of years ago and fell out of his, that hurt too.

If I can help out any give me a call.

Can't keep a good man down
Be sure to follow doctor's orders about not walking on it too soon. Stay off it & you should heal fine. I've broken more than a few & that's the trick to a speedy recovery. All the best man.
