Well i know better but was trying to remove a shift knob that was stubbornly resisting. 2 good yanks got a little movements one more good yank, and pow right in the eye. I see it comming in slow motion. Cant shut my eye fast enough. A 5mm scrape on my cornia.
Fortunately my ophthalmologist worked me right in. The drops were great, but they will now allow it to heal so here i sit im my 914 self inflicted pain. I no remember tutlegirl making a note to self to "remove belly ring before sliding under car". Share you cautionary tales. |

During a 109 degree day last September, I figured the best way to cool off would be to crawl under the engineless teener and clean the underside. Smart and Final industrial cleaner and a hose were making short work of removing years of crud while the pool of runoff I was laying in provided a much needed cool down. I did have safety goggles on but they kept fogging up so off they went. Was feeling irritation in my eyes so I rinsed with the hose as needed and kept plugging away. The car came out great and I was off to the shower followed by a 33 degree beer. As the evening went on, my right eye got worse and I eventually ended up going to the emergency room. This was after giving up on the self medication plan that got me pretty loopy by the time I got to the hospital. Got pulled over on the way back a few houses from home for a bad headlight. Good thing I was not driving and the officer took pity on us..
