FYI: Sharp paper corner in the eye = bad

Evo

YAY!!!

Let us know how you're doing.

Astronuc

Try not to worry. The important thing is that you will treatment right away!

Perhaps a routine ophthalmic antibiotic solution will be the treatment.

We wish you well.

Danger

We await good tidings, MIH. If they try to put you off again, move up here for some of that good ol' pinko socialized medicine that Russ and Pengwino hate so much.

3:00 was almost four hours ago. I wonder what happened.

Math Is Hard

ok, I'm back now. I have a boo-boo on my cornea. They had to paint my eyeball orange and look at it under a UV light to see where I tore it. I have some eyedrops for it, now, and a first class pass to visit a specialist if I want.

It's been one of those non-stop days. Left the doctor at 5:30 then popped back into work, then went to a study group, then dinner with a friend after that. whew! Thanks, everybody, for your concern. oh yeah - no eyepatch, so no arrghh mateys, at work tomorrow. Was almost looking forward to that!!

TheStatutoryApe

You could pick yourself up an eyepatch and do it any way!
And takes pics to share too ofcourse.

Ivan Seeking

Are the eyedrops intended to get the paint out, or to treat the UV burns?

I'm glad that everything is okay. Eye injuries are always a concern.

zoobyshoe

Wheeeww!! I'm so glad it's not more serious.

BobG

Glad to here it's not more serious. Kind of disappointed there was no eye patch - it looked so stylish in dduardo's picture. Besides, I've always wanted to tell someone, "You have such .... uh ... a beautiful eye."

Aaagggh, i didn't read this thread till now, poor MIH i hope you get well soon,
i have made a leather eye patch with MIH formed with gold studs for you
anyway, you can wear it for an avatar pic.

Math Is Hard

tempting! It would have to be something fancy.
It's still not very comfortable, but I feel better now that I saw the doctor. It hurts more when you don't know what's wrong, I think.
You have the best pick up lines, BobG!

Wolram, that sounds like such a cool eye-patch. I'm almost willing to poke myself in the eye again to be able to wear it.

OK, y'all, just for fun I'll be Darryl Hannah from Kill Bill today.

Astronuc

MIH, maybe you should wear safety goggles around paper.

I am pleased to hear you got treatment. Tear in the cornea is serious, but treatable.

I hope it heals quickly.

fuzzyfelt

Youch! Hope you feel better, but your avatar looks great!

Math Is Hard

Tell me about it. And Evo used to say she was the clumsy sister!
Thanks for your good wishes.
Thanks fi. I'm in the mood for a Quentin Tarantino film now. I'll just have to watch the movie like this so I don't stress my eyeball.

Math Is Hard

oh, and p.s. Evo, your story about the cornea-eating critters was very motivational in getting me to find a doctor ASAP. I just wish the nightmares would stop now.

Moonbear

That's what big sisters are for...telling stories that cause nightmares for life.

BobG

In the future, you need to be more careful while working out those math problems. Remember, complex variables are always fun until someone loses an i.
