Eye eye eye...

[Paul in NZ]

Dammit – I’ve mentioned my health’s been a bit ‘patchy’ of late but this latest little whoopsy is just plain mental – I’m starting to feel victimised.

So anyway – I’d been generally feeling pretty shit hot actually. You know, turned the corner, feeling spring surging.. phoar!

Vicki had ‘the ladies’ coming over on Friday so I thought I’d be good and mow the lawns n tidy the place up Thursday night… So – home early, (had the regular dr appt) out with the blower, the whipper stripper and the mower. Sweat blood n tears and its all lookin smick. Just one little bit to do but Vickis left one of her ‘treasures’ in the way so I bend over to move it and the mower goes PHATANG and flicks a piece of dried up cat crap into my eye – I mean RIGHT in. Hurt like a cunt.

So – scratched eyeball. Holy hell does it bloody smart!! In the cold wind today it was like a red hot poker to the brain… GAH! If it does not come right, no riding for a bit....

you've got two eyes. Put a plaster on it.

[riffer]

Ouch.

Watch our for infection mate. I don't need to tell you how bad it is for our types.

[Ms Piggy]

That's gotta suck BIG time Paul! Yikes! I hope it heals quickly! :hug:

[Hopeful Bastard]

Pink eye yet? :innocent:

Tried that - got a big box of em, I look like a gay pirate wannabe and keep walking into things...

[Ronin]

That will buff right out.

Aye!:msn-wink:

[Number One]

Was in this postition recently Paul and so I totally get where youa re coming from.

Think about getting it looked out. I had a 7mm scratch to my cornea from a flailing childs fingernail - was told if it gets infected OR there are teeny tiny bits of that crap in your eye it can mean big trouble.

I saw my optomotrist and got some antirobotic drops - cleared it up within a day to where I could stand to come out from under the bed covers into the light.

Heya Paul ... hope you start feeling better soon .. but I agree with Number One ... the eyes are too important to risk ... see an optom quickly so that it is properly checked out.

welcome to MY world...

[sunhuntin]

damn, that is some bad luck! definately get it seen to. i imagine it would be near on impossible to ride safely with only one eye.

[Trouser]

You don't want robots in there. :Pokey:

[BM-GS]

I managed to get bits of some cage's windscreen in my eyeball a ways back. A nice lady pulled out onto a main road without looking and a big nasty motorbike embedded itself in her front wing. She was already awaiting a court date for a charge of Driving Without Due Care, as it happened.

Fortunately, the eyeball is the only bit of live tissue visible on the outside of a human body, and so heals quickly. Skin's dead stuff, doncha know...

Obviously it needs to be taken care of properly, & PDQ - cos while it'll heal quick, if it gets infected it could bugger your life up big-time.

Luxury!
I splashed molten solder on my cornea.
You tell the young folk today,and they won't believe you!

[Jizah]

I had a fingernail damage over 70% of my cornea too. But mine happened right after I had LASIK so I was absolutely shitting myself :(
