paper cut to the EYE

Paper cuts anywhere are painful, but are even worse on the EYE BALL. I am a hazard to myself with paper. I was running out the door and some how jabbed the paper I was holding into my eye. Corneal abrasion.... very painful. So for the next day and a half, I couldn't see, my nose was running, and my eye turned red and swollen. Luckily, my sister's boyfriend's dad is an ophthalmologist. I gave him an urgent call and he said for me to put a patch over my eye. Every time I blinked I was scrapping off the cells that were healing over the abrasion. Don't I look like a sexy pirate!

Everyone thought I was an idiot for calling into work over a paper cut. Thanks to a trip to the eye doctor and 60 bucks worth of eye drops. I am as good as new!
