Dang Eric, if it weren't for bad luck............

You got lucky, so count your blessings. Glad that you only got minor injuries that will only slow you down for a little bit, and get you a little extra time off.

Be well!

Dang, that smarts! I hope the eyes feel better soon my friend!

I know the feeling as several years back I tore the cornea off my eye when shaking out a tarp in the wind and it came back on my eye! Not only that, but it didn't heal properly, so the optomologist had to surgically scrape it off again with a scalpul while I watched! Thank God for good drugs! Fortunately it healed better the 2nd time and now I wear safety glasses for almost every thing I do in the garage or around the house.
