Poked in the eye

[Marigold2]

Yesterday was a lovely day here. I spent all day outside doing yard work, rearranging and cleaning the flower beds for fall, planting some mums.
I bought a lovely Tiger Rose Japanese Maple and hubby helped me plant it out front in the flower beds.
I was bending down to dead head some statis and got poked in the eye by some red hot poker leaf. It is very spikey.
I felt in poke into my eye.
I screamed a bit and ran inside thinking my eye would be bleeding but it wasn't.
It hurt so bad, like getting poked by a needle. Hubby looked at it and could not see anything amiss. I told him I was perfoming self lasik. LOL
Called my boss who advised me to go to the office and get a certain drop which I did. Use twice a day. I put it in and it burned like fire.
My boss was so sweet he called me right back which was great. I would have hated to go to the ED for the day.
I kept working but my eye really pained me after 8pm so I went to bed and just laid there with my eye shut. It feels better today.
Modern medicine is such a miracle.

Marigold2,

Ouch!! I hope you feel better!! I know exactly what kind of "thorns" you're speaking of. I got stuck in the arm by one years ago and it hurt (and burned) like hell!! I can only imagine how your eye felt.

You're lucky it never went into your eye and then out of your ear....that would have REALLY hurt
Be more careful Mon Mon !!!!

Hope your eye feels better Marigold. You will have to wear those protective weed whacker glasses outside after this when you weed the flower beds. Would a warm wash cloth laying over you eye be of any help? That is what I usually do when I get something in my eye or scratch it.
