Hi guys,
I hope all is well!
I nearly put my eye out yesterday! While the car was warming up, (going to church) I was cleaning the ice off of my windshield and went to the back of my car to get some cleaner, when I hit the hatch corner (lifted up in the back) with my right eye area.
It hit so hard and so fast, I dropped to the ground and laid there on the driveway for a few moments with my hand over my eye, until I got my composure.
Then a thought struck me! About my eye? No. The neighbors. So much for worrying that neighbors will see me nude! Here I am injured and laying sprawled out on the driveway and nobody notices!
Anyway, I ran inside, and Gwin saw a bloody mess! We decided to go to the emergency room. So we got her mother to watch Megan. In the mean time I got a cold wet rag and compressed the eye area. And then I began to notice that my eye itself was not injured, but apparently the skin around it.
So Gwin took another look and then we decided to not go right away to the emergency. I could still see out of it (blurry from moisture, but that is normal).
So we went on to church, since I had the key to the building and by that time we had at least one person waiting for me. Then after we got there, Gwin, who brought our personal first aide kit, took a compress bag and put ice in it. I held it most of the morning there while doing other things. I was doing fine by then.
We have a nurse that attends our church, so when she got in, she looked at it (as well as another lady who works with health clinics, though not a nurse) and they both said that it did not need stitches and that the eye itself seemed fine. Thank God for that!
So I enjoyed the rest of the day. My pastor prayed over me with annointing oil.
I am seriously black, blue and red!
I am at work now, so I guess I better get busy! But thought you would find this interesting!
