I’m sitting in a tiny room in the ‘big city’ (Launceston – only ‘big’ by my standards) where I am waiting to see an ophthalmologist tomorrow. My eye is giving me a lot of trouble after its rusty steel fragment. This is making reading painful and difficult. Audio-books -while a blessing, are rather slow for a speed reader. Writing too, is not much fun. (Yes, I know. Voice to text. Tomorrow, if need be.) Or I’ll train a parrot. So: forgive me. I’m not even going to try tonight.

Keep your eye on that bottle’o’rum and get better!

Ouch. I had a cut cornea once (long hair + no goggles in an open-cockpit plane), and that was more than enough eye trauma. Hope the solution is simple and things get better quickly!

Hoping for a swift recovery!

Here’s a prayer for you. My eyes seem to be suffering from a surfeit of birthdays so I understand. I’m off to the eye doctor for better coke bottles, I mean lenses and hoping that fixes things.

Take care. We’ll still be here when you’re feeling better.

They probably missed a little tiny fleck of crud, that’s why it still hurts.
From my limited knowledge of the condition, totally fixable. Happened to my brother one time, he was welding and lifted his visor to see what he was doing. When he went ‘tink!’ on the weld with his hammer a little piece of slag got him in the eye, because no safety glasses under the visor. Doctor flicked it out of there and then his eye felt like sandpaper for a couple days, then he was okay. And wore his safety glasses religiously thereafter.
I took a wire from a wire wheel in the cheek one time, it snuck in and got me under my face shield. So I’m pretty paranoid myself. Face shield -and- glasses.
Hoping for a good result here Dave. You’ve inspired me to wear my safety glasses even more religiously.
But more generally, take it easy and try not to die, alright? What are we supposed to do around here with no Dave?
