Exploring the bric-a-brac of my mind...

#58 - Here's mud in your eye (literally)

Well, the best laid plans often end unpredictably.

I was minding my own business in my own garden (which is shaping up beautifully, I might add), and WHAM!  What should have been a simple shaking the dirt off the weeds being pulled ended up with an errant piece of something flying into my eye.

Unsuccessful attempts to remove said foreign object resulted in a trip to urgent care this morning.  They performed something called a "Morgan Lens Flush" which is a very, VERY odd procedure (even the Doctor said so).  They numb your eye, place a suction cup on your eye attached to a saline IV, and flush your eye out.  It was very strange and painful - well, maybe just pressure painful - and then the Doctor put some solution in my eye and looked at it under the blacklight.  Yup.  2 corneal scratches.  Now I have to go get that antibiotic ointment prescription and check with an eye doctor in a few days to make sure it's healing properly.

So, of course, I'll be wearing either glasses or protective eyewear when I continue working out there.

On another note, the weather is rainy; that means the time is right (and ripe) for Vault spelunking.

I need to go do that.

Let's just hope I don't get any flying dust in my eye.
