Gary, we laugh with each other not at each other!! I feel your pain, I was in an almost accident and my glasses broke while my face was meeting the dash--the lense put a scratch on my eye and it was one of the the worst things ever. I still get floaters but no permanent damage. Hugs to you!!

it is so nice to hear that i am not the only vaudeville act anymore. I am sorry you broke your eyeball, Gary.
Once I simultaneously broke my toe and burned my boobs! That was a fun one to explain.

Maybe More than just a little
Maybe you can guilt trip her into coming home early from her honeymoon if she hears dear old dad had such a horrible accident.

Just LOVE your thinking SOCKMONKEY!

Amanda, your grandpa is very smart! My Amanda would probably prefer me with "normal" eyeballs...but with me ANYTHING is normal I am glad though that it happened after the wedding!

Angie and I hope to have a date with Capt. Jack this week-end if my eye gets better.

Look after yourself and watch that eye.

Better look on an empty stomach
Well ladies, it's Angie here.
I took some pics of Gary's eye.
I tell everyone I decked him because he told me my butt looked big in my new pair of jeans!! That'll teach him!

Yikes, that looks painful! Hope it heals up quickly.
as for the burned boobs/broken toe story - i was making truffles and they were boiling hot and i wanted them to set faster,so i had my hot tray of chocolate, opened the freezer and out jumped one of those big hard blue cooler things- right onto my toe, the freezer door started to close and i lost balance of the tray which dumped right down my chest - and me wearing a tank top. yikes! It sucked, but was the most creative way I ever got to call in sick to work.

Ouch is right! Does your patriotism know no bounds? They're red, white and blue... Feel better soon. I can see Angie has a sense of humor to go along with yours
And lizzi, you win the prize for best excuse in calling in sick

Ouch! Nice dilation (shows the eye has had trauma--can you tell my Dad was an optometrist?). Heal quickly!

Thanks for asking CLYDEGIRL... I went to the doctor on friday, he gave me some new medication for the cuts..he said they were 3/4 through the cornea and I was very lucky. I still have blurred vision..BUT...it is way better than last week. I am supposed to go back in 3 weeks for another evaluation, he said that at that time he may be able to tell me wether steroids may help...if I still have blurred vision. The eye looks normal now and my the scar is very minor. So...not great...but could've been way worse. I still have a lot of "head' strain trying to adapt...especially taping drywall at work.

Gary, I'm glad to hear your eye is healing and I didn't make fun of you, not even once. Might I suggest you wear safety goggles in the future when retrieving your beer. Have a couple more beers and that blurred vision will start to seem normal. Just kidding, I hope you are better soon.
As for Angie, she was very calm in eating her dinner before driving you to the ER. Next time you might suggest she put her chicken on bread and eat her chicken sandwich on the way to the ER. (LOL, that is just from personal experience from a wife and mother who's made many a trip to the ER).

I hope you recover with a minimum of scars and no vision loss, my friend.
No laughing from me! Aren't you glad you had Angie there? It would have been awful driving yourself to the ER.

Glad to hear you're healing.
Angie's eating before taking you to the ER kind of reminded me of Thanksgiving a few years ago. DH and BIL were carving the turkey and BIL slipped and sliced his thumb. He insisted on eating before going to the ER (cousin and SIL are RN's and they both agreed he'd be okay for at least half an hour). He had to eat with his hand in the air, though! While a the hospital, cousin called to say he was getting 16 stitches and was all bandaged and they'd be home soon for dessert. I got into my emergency kit and before they arrived, the remaining 25 of us all bandaged our thumbs to match his! It was funny--I still have the photo somewhere!

One particular other digit could have been embarrassing?!
I'm glad he was OK, too.
