......is all it took to blind my brother in law. Joe is, what we say in these parts, "a few cards short of a full deck". Joe was involved with the cleanup of the Beirut Barracks bombing many years ago, and that experience "stole" a few of them cards. He is on disability from the Marines, so he spends his days working on motorcycles. He specializes in British bikes.....Nortons, BSA, Triumphs. He repairs, rebuilds, parts out (lot's of e-baying). Well, Joe was working on his bikes last Friday morning, about 5 am, when he fell with a wrench, and poked his eyeball. He didn't think much about it, and covered it with a patch. His wife came out to see him before work, and asked him about it....he said "it's OK". Well, a few minutes later he came into the house and said he was feeling sick. Well, a trip to the Cleveland VA Hospital put him right into surgery. He had a hole in his eyeball, it was leaking, and his cornea was missing....floating somewhere in his eye. The Drs. gave it till the next morning, but couldn't find, let alone, reattach his cornea. His eye will shrivel up, and will have to be removed and replaced with a glass eye.
Man, safety glasses are a must when working around stuff with tools.
One poke was all it took......
