How about a rock to the EYE at 50+ mph?!?!
Coming down Rt 5 from Sunset Bay yesterday, sitting in the back seat of my gf’s car, a pebble managed to see me coming, gather the strength to jump up just at the right moment, aim it’s way through the opened window, and gun down my left eye…
was able to open it (without pulling it open with my hands) this afternoon for the first time, light sucks…any and all forms of light, and even opened it’s pretty much useless. i’m better off with it closed, because that way the bad eye doesnt throw me off with my one good eye. also, i never noticed how seriously out of wack your sense of depth perception goes when you only use one eye…it’s pretty wierd/trippy. i gave it 24 hours and then i said i would go to a doctor if it’s not better, and it’s not, so tomorrow morning i’m off to see if it’s surgery, glasses, or hopefully just meds that i’ll be needing…
just thought it would be funny to post, honestly…what the hell are the chances of that happening…ever, to anybody? now i can wear a cool patch when i go see the new Pirate’s movie…

the redness is mostly gone from some drops i got earlier, pics will do no good…
i can have the girl that was sitting in front of the car back me though…with the fact that after the rock bounced off my eye, it hit the back of her arm, and stung a little bit…fucking ridiculous…

No pitty lol. have you seen my eye? When I was 6 I threw a horseshoe at a beer bottle and gouged out a piece of my right eye. I am incredably light sensative and get frequent headaches from light. My pupil contract on that eye very well. It is almost always dialated. I still have good vision, but it is very very slowly getting worse. You get use to the lack of depth preception and learn to deal with it.

I got hit in the teeth the other day by a bee that deflected off my side-view mirror. That’s all i can contribute to this thread.

I got a habenero pepper seed in my right eye when i was 10, i now have degenerating eyes, and need a new prescription every year. it took close to 2 hours to get it out and the pain didnt go away for like a week. messing up your eyes sucks.
