FNLO620 Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 Well I just got home from the er for the second time in two days. While I was working on the Datsun a few days ago, I got a piece of metal in my right eye. I figured that it would come out on its own and just ignored it. I was wrong my eye swelled up and I went to the er last night. They numbed up my eye and the doctor stuck a needle in there and got the piece of metal out. Well when I wake up today(I am sleeping during the day cause I'm supposed to work nights) My eye is crusted over and I can't open it. I hop in the shower and get it open, its really swollen and really red, so I got back to the er. This time the doctor says that there is still some stuff in there and that the metal that was in there has rusted and he has to get it out. He numbs my eye and goes in there with a DRILL/GRINDER all while I was awake. Well I don't have to go to work for 4 nights and I got some loritab:) for the pain. The moral of the story is, make sure you wear safety glasses and if you do get something in your eye, don't ignore it. Quote Link to comment

dat521kid Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 yeah, safety first Quote Link to comment
FNLO620 Posted May 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 This is the first time that I have ever had to have anything removed from my eye, and all I have to say is that it sucked balls. I mean my eye was numb when the drilled it, but I was wide awake and could not only hear the drill but also see my eye twitch as he was drilling/grinding it. Quote Link to comment
motavated Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 Same thing here, but instead of metal it was a snail shell... Now I am cockeyed for life!!!! Stupid snail. But I won in the end!!! Quote Link to comment
Weaver Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 Eek, my whole body just involuntarily cringed. I can deal with anything except eye injuries. Watching the Saw movies doesn't bother me, but (I think it was in Saw 4) when that guy got a spike in his left eye, I had to leave the room. Hope your eye gets better man. Quote Link to comment
yellowdatsun Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 Yep, had stuff removed from my eyes twice. Once while working in my shop *and* I was wearing my safety glasses I got a piece of metal in my eye, the second was while riding my motorcycle I got a wood splinter in my eye. Had to get them both removed by the doctor. Man, watching them come at your eye with tweezers, and watching them pick the stuff out SUCKS. Gives me the heebie jeebies just remembering it. The one nice thing is they gave me vicodin one of the times, that stuff is great! Quote Link to comment

Hope your eye gets better man. Nothing really bothers me at all. Though I still cringe a bit when I see that south park episode where they shove food up their ass and crap out of their mouths. that is just plain wrong. But hey Weaver, this is for you ">" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350"> Edited May 31, 2009 by LCDC Quote Link to comment
