So the worst day award goes to...

Me.

So I wake up yesterday and notice that my right eye is a little red and puffy, I think no big deal, probably just irritated a little. Well as the day goes on it gets worse, I figure get some visine and it will be all good, right? Wrong! I wake up this morning and it's ten times worse and I can barely open my eye. Me being the guy I am, say to myself that it will go away eventually and go to work. By the end of work I can barely see out of it, and what I can see if milky, clouded, and extremely sensitive to light. So now I finaly go to the eye doctor. Once the doctor looks at it they say that I have a piece of metal embedded in my eyeball. And not just any piece, they say that it is the worst case that they have ever seen, GREAT! So they use pliers and a small drill(yeah I almost shit myself when they said they were going to have to use a drill) to get most of it out and gave me some scripts of antibiotics and steroids that will hopefully bring the rest closer to the surface, so they can get it out with out doing any damage. So now I get to go back monday to get the rest of the metal and rust(caused by the metal being in there) out.

It must have gotten in my eye when we were grinding on this track on a jobsite on wednesday.

SO, how was your day?????????

same thing happened to my dad. he wasnt wearing safety glasses. it took like 10 days before he could see in that eye again and they said some of the damage could be permanent.

good luck, WEAR GOGGLES!

When I was the one doing the grinding yes the were on, and when the other guy was I wasn't close to him or eben looking in his directions for that matter. And I never even felt anything when it happened, which was odd to me cause normally you feel something in your eye as soon as it happens.

And I put it on my insurance to start, but when I called the shop after I left the doctor to tell them I wasn't coming in on monday, and what they situation was, they said they'll take care of it with compo.
