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. |

I've never bothered with safety glasses but after getting some crap in my eye at one point and the cute female eye doctor got very upset at my unability to keep my eye open for her so she could get the debris out I've started using a full face visor with using the angle grinder or cutoff wheel.....

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) One day the cutoff wheel will come apart and bounce harmlessly off your face shield and you will feel like a genius. BTDT. My dad - A surgeon- had told me when I was young to always pay attention to where my fingers where. He had seen too many tradesman come into the ER with fingers missing from their hands. An impact wrench is a great tool. Chugga chugga instead of bolt letting go followed by o-crap. |
