I'm no Sheila Jackson Lee, or Maxine Waters... but if it was the carotid that is the neck (or nearby). Femoral artery is in the leg.

Neighbor had a rock sling from mower that struck my sister in foot and required stitches.

My kids aren’t allowed in yard when I’m mowing.

Reading the title, I was expecting it to look a lot worse. She seems like a trooper, I’d probably still be curled up in bed like a lil beotch.

It's definitely bad, but I've had worse from a lawnmower.

I bet you are a type of person who likes to bitch about how soft society is today, yet you won’t let your kids go near a lawn mower in case of freak accident?

I mean, a somewhat freak accident of this nature did involve a family member in the past, so the basic common sense in me tells the kids to stay inside or play in front yard for the 30min it takes to mow the back.

I don’t have the safety net on kids’ trampoline as frick you to this soft society. What more do you want?
