Well at work this morning moved a trolley (remember I work at BQ) and someone had rested a fluorsecent 6ft tube over something else out of packaging and when I moved something else it exploded...sadly for me it covered me head and shoulders; which means I ended up with lots of tiny tiny specks of "glass shards on my face" not as bad as it sounds but also glass in my right eye.
Been to A&E whoi had put anthestic in my eye and a coloured dye and the eye is cut/scratched at the bottom and by the tear duct.
They have cleared out the glass won't say how as people are eye squemish...:oops: ..including me.

Have antibiotic cream, and have to go to the eye hospital tomorrow after 11am to see them. Have to rest today I have a patch I look like a pirate. Starting to hurt again now think the anthestic is wearing off.

Goodness Kazz, that's nasty - it must be very painful too..:( thank goodness it didn't damage your pupil.

I don't envy you having treatment on your eye, it's such a sensitve organ...

Hope you can keep the pain and discomfort under control and it doesn't take too long to heal.

I hope you will be able to claim through your company too;)

Oh Karen, that sounds really painful. I shudder with anything to do with eyes (my MIL had a cataract removed with only a local anaesthetic . . . NOOOOO :shock: :shock: :shock: )

I hope you recover soon - if they have removed all the glass then at least it should just be a case of healing the cuts and scratches.

Take care mate.

That's horrible, I'm so sorry! Hope some painkillers will help. And it's so awkward with monocular vision; I had an eye patch after cataract surgery (WITH complete anaesthesia!) and found it difficult to gauge distance. Will the patch come off tomorrow? (((hugs)))

No idea Eileen, I have been sent to the Eye hospital because some of the glass dust/slithers whatever were in/near my tear duct which caused the bleeding from my eye thats stopped but I am off to get a check up its irritating as heck.
