Default I'm blind in one eye now. (Update [I can see, kind of])


Its kind of funny how it happened and yet not at the sametime. I was rewiring a few things on my car and piece of wire came up and hit me in the eye (how I dont know) and it hurt like a ***** for the longest time I ened up going to the hospital about an hour later (my eye wasnt feeling better) and they forced it open and I kind of freak out when I couldnt see anything out of it nothing what so ever, they did a few tests and said that I most likly wouldnt get my eye sight back. Now for the funny part, Im always really carefull about anything that I do, ear muffs, eye protection, gloves etc..., didnt really think that you'd need eye protection to move a few wires around put aparentaly sometimes you do.

The Moral of the story is ALWAYS BE CAREFUL NO MATTER WHAT!

Just a note this happened today.

Thats so true, I just never thought that a harmless ground wire would be the killer of my right eye.

sorry to hear about that man. I hope you regain sight in your eye. Sometimes doctors don't really know everything, but tell you the worst just in case. I really wish you well.
