I was very lucky to escape any injury today. I had been down to the Coop feedmill to pick up some bags of custom mix to get me through until the feedtruck came tomorrow to fill my silo. It is about 120 km round trip. About 200 m from the corner of my road I fell asleep, woke up just as leaving the road, went over a culvert about a metre drop, hit the table drain side on and rolled once I think and ended up on the side. I climbed out the window, got my 2 dogs out and all OK fortunately, just an abrasion on my forearm.
I have a mitochondrial defect in my muscle cells and I do get fatigued but have learnt to manage it, today I slipped up. If I had been further away from home when I started feeling as I did I would have pulled up and closed my eyes for a 5 min nap, that is all it takes and I am right but because home was just around the corner I thought I could get there. With the drought here I am doing a pretty full few hours before breakfast so really need to close my eyes for a bit before getting on with the next job, today I didn't.
