Had a rash of unusual luck lately..... Small reminder for everyone. Learn from others and their luck to save your self.
The other day Budman and his a couple of his friends came by for some bike tweaks without problems. They got a lil rain.... Good meeting everyone as I said before... Puts me in the mood to work on my bike.
Now my luck. I decided to detail the bike some, change the oil, clean the chain, and air up the tires. Rear tire is gettin close in the middle from all the highway ridin... I tell myself keep the rear to about 35 or so as to prevent a flat since it's "thinner" in that area....
SO get a minature version of a rail road spike in the tire. It's 2" long and sharp as hell. Have no idea what it could belong tooo. So I got a flat..
That sucked.
I decide to get my work lap top out and start searching for tire prices. Shut the lid and shattered the screen.
That sucked.
So I decided to clean the small stuff in the garage up. See a staple with a short piece of romex that needs pulled down hanging from the garage rafter. One quick pull and trash it. I Think to myself as I climb up the step ladder that I should put on some safety glasses to keep the dust out. Then tell myself that it's just pulling out one piece of unused wire to trash 5 seconds and im done.
Reach up and touch the wood rafter for balance when dust falls in my eye. Do the typical rinse, flush routeen without luck. Jump in the shower to flood the eye, still feels like somethings in it and it hurts like hell. Neighbor buddy doesnt see anything with a flash light.
Fuk with the eye another couple hours with seline, and then my other nurse neighbor
comes home and says put some visine in you eye to stop the dryness effect..... It was like bleech and gasoline at the same time burning, luckey I couldnt find my gun at that point.
Now Im getting nervous. My eye hurts like hell and my eye socket now hurts.
Take a trip to the ER kinda kickin myself cause Im a woose and a half when it comes to my eyes. Cant even put in eye drops...
Neighbor buddy friend drives me... While enroute, Im holding my eyelid out away from my eye to keep the pain down. He slams on the brakes to avoid a dog, so I poke myself dead in the fukkkin eye. Wanted to kill him and the dog. Now I cant see shytt at all.
Get to the ER and admitting nurse dumb ass keeps pointing for me to go here and there as if I was looking at her after she helped me into the door. I actually had to finally ask her if she askes people w/o leggs in a wheel chair to walk here and there......
See Doc immediately. Doc flips my eyelids inside out (both upper and lower). Straps me down and numbs my eye with some fluids and then uses a dye drop on my eye.
Now Im scared to death, I cant close my swollen eye that hurts yet it's numb. Im tossin and turnin cause it just hurts. He's turns around with a frog man night vision looking getup and a blue filtered light from hell to look into my eye.. Now Ive seen the center of the sun.
Ever seen micro tweezers before.... I have all the way into my eye and cant blink.... Eye is numb but brain says it should hurt.
Puts a clamp lock on my eye, which Im watching the whole thing, squrrmmin like a beatch..... While he trys to sooth me with "hold the fuk still" speaches.
After shock surgury he removed a splinter from the center of my eyeball that was below the first layer of flesh sticking straight out, and a sliver from the upper underside of my eyelid both smaller than I dont know what. Stopped the pain, now my entire eye socket hurts from the clamps as well as my rubbing.
I have three scratches across my eye and cant see shytt. I have to take numbing and disifectant eye drops every 4-6 hours which I cant do by myself cause I suck at it, Im on 2 vicodine pills every four hours which doesnt seem to have much effect on me that I know of. Yet non drowsy binadryll will put my arse out in a heart beat.
Cant drive, or expose the eye to light or sun for 2-3 days. All because I was too lazy to listen to myself and put on some dayum glasses...
I know this doesnt go here but all this happened in one day. Most of it was from ignoring my own instincts which we all tend to do. The flat could have been worse as well as it's no fun and games when someone pokes an eye out.
My tid bit of the day.
OH... Almost forgot. Anyone have any tips for replacing a DELL LATITUDE C600 laptop screen?
Or how bout good prices on Sportec M-1's rear?
Thanks, be safe
