Geez, sometimes I'm a ditz. Yesturday I was cutting off my nails (I wear acrylics and they were lifting). Anyone who has ever cut off acrylics knows they go flying and hit random things. Seriously, it's like *ping* and a few seconds later they randomly hit some wall or whatever. Funny actually.
Anyways, I'm wearing my glasses and being all careful to cut away from my face when pop, it hits me smack dab in my eye. I scream out a cuss word (which is rare for me). My mom comes in and pries it open long enough to tell me my eyes is bleeding! So we go to urgent care, wait for 2 hours. Right as I'm about to get called some dumb old lady comes in wanting morphine (she was feeling fine enough to bark out orders and flirt with the nurse). SO they put her first and I wait another 30 minutes. (I won't lie, I wanted to trip her!, lol, jk) They numb my eye (thank God) and he sticks a huge qtip in the back of my eye to make sure the nail is out. They have to put a dye in there and look at it with all these lights and machines. Then they hold my head down to squirt this cleaner type thing, and it was cold! Turns out I cut my eye like a centimeter left of my cornea, not good! And I have a lovely red blood spot, as well as a sexy eye patch and painful drops to put in. (On the plus side, doctor gave me pain pills,
) And no contacts for a week. And I get to go to Hawaii like this, woohoo!
Moral of the story: wear safety goggles when cutting off acrylics. But hey, at least the doctors got a laugh at my expense, lol.
