Yesterday at work a co-worker was firing rubber bands at me (a common event) when I decided to turn and face him. It was a bad choice since a rubber band was fired at that same instant impacting directly onto my eyeball. The pain was intense enough to make me sick to my stomach, and my tear system was pumping a gallon of water into my eye every hour. After I got the courage to open the affected eye my vision through it was pink and hazy, prompting a call to the doctors. After many comparisons to "Ralphie" from "A Christmas Story" I was given eye drops and sent on my way. The plus side is I can now register with WEIR and join their elite club of members. After browsing through their site my injury suddenly seems like a blessing.
