Almost had to make a trip to the Emergency Room today. I was clipping my finger nails and one flew up into my eye. It took forever for it to finally come out. My eye is all red and bloodshot Kinda like the time I passed out at a party, and woke up the next morning with "something in my eye" that no amount of eye drops would get rid of. All day, it just stayed there, irritating my eye lid cuz it was like a bump. I look closely in the mirror, and it didn't look like something external at all, so I got nervous and went to the eye doctor.
Somehow, apparently, a spec of GLASS ended up embedded in my eyeball!
Do you know what it's like to see a pair of TWEEZERS coming towards your eyeball?!! Thank God he had a steady hand -- I didn't feel a thing! And that's all it took, no redness or anything, and only minorly irritated for the rest of the day.
I wish I knew how that happened -- I don't remember bobbing for apples in the recyclable container!!
