Eye eye eye...

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....

Ouch.

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

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.
