About 2 yrs ago I bought my wife some flowers. I stuck my head in the bouqet to smell them and a sharp stem pierced my retina. It gouged a good sized chunk out of my eye. Amazingly the retina had rejuvenated itself in 24 hrs, but its never felt right since. Last night while sleeping I did something, poked my finger in there or caught the corner of the sheet in my eye, not sure. So Ill go see a specialist if I can get in today.

Theres a good chance theyll want to just put me "to sleep". "Put me out to pasture". "Send me to the glue factory". so just in case Ill say bye now.

Oh Babe...you'll be fine.....and you'll look so handsome with an eye patch...

P.S. Please don't buy your wife any flowers on the way home...

Gosh Nomad !!!!!!!!!!!!! Your poor man!! How horrible!! I'm sending loads of thoughtwaves. Hope the specialist can fix this fast!

((((((((((((((((( Nomad ))))))))))))))))))))

And don't you dare say Goodbye!!!

And practice saying "AAaaarrggghh!"

If a specialist can't get you in TODAY, go to the emergency room. Eyesight is nothing to mess with! Let us know if they don't decide to send you to the glue factory.:wah:

:yh_hugs Nomad, so sorry to hear about your eye trouble.

Hope it's sorted swiftly for you and that you're not in any pain.

Take care

I got the "attitude" when I called into work. I cant enjoy my suffering now.

Sound advise. Ill put a large fidgety bird with a sharp beak next to my other eye. When he takes that one out, that'll show them at work ! Argh:-3

You big romantic darling you, we will think good thoughts as you go to the doc today!

Now, if he gives you any shots in the rear end.......................:wah:

Yeah, they always assume something else-take in a doctor's slip in with you, and slap it in their face tomorrow! You have had this problem for awhile now, you need to take care of it.

Yes...leaving all the humour aside......LOOK AFTER YOUR EYES....they are too precious to mess around with.

Nomad, Bez had that tone in her voice, you better go to the doc when he/she opens!

Nomad, let us know what the doctor said. Even though we love to pick on you, you know we care.:-4

How do you expect me to keep my cyber hands off of you if you get a sexy and debonnaire eye patch?

You don't make it easy to stay faithful to my hubby:)

I'm in it for the big giant shot he's going to get!



Nah, he knows I love him........................:-4

I hope you get a nice lollipop from the doctor after the visit.

Great graphic, Carla!!:-6

I pm'd my Sweet Pea but I thought I'd just remind people, if you are

going in to have an eye checked, be sure to take someone with you.

You never know, they may have to do something and you won't be able to

see to drive yourself home...



:-6



P.S. Here's a parrot pirate for my Sweet Pea:

I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you.



:sneaky:

Dammit that Nomad is a lucky man!!:sneaky:

Now, has Nomad been a good boy, and gone to the doctor yet?

Hope your eye is better, Nomad :-4

Well it was about 6 hrs ago that he said he was going...sooooo...hopefully he'll report back to us soon.

hmmm magazines to pass the time while you heal is a bad idea eh Captain Bligh... well get well quick like ya hear.

We shall check in on him all day..........................

I hope he took laser with him to do the driving!

Sounds Painful.

Hope everyting is alright.

I am glad to hear you are feeling better, Nomad. Gee, if you get an eyepatch, you will then need the pegleg, single hoop earring and of course the parrot. You would make a rather dashing pirate....Just in time for for Johnny Depps new movie.

:wah: I get it.... it was a sweet pea that gouged his eye in the first place. Hmm never realized they had sharp stems though.



Hope ya get to feeling better, but if ya end up with an eye patch I hear they really intrigue the ladies.

Ouch!, that had to hurt .....

Sounds as though you may have a minute piece of scar tissue which ought to be easily rectified. All the best to you ..
