I don't feel like posting this in each mod that i am involved with, so here it is.  today at work there was an unfortunate mishap.  An electric stove that i was testing cut loose.  one of the burners exploded, my face was directly above it.  I got shrapnel from the fully heated burner in my eyes, but luckily i had closed them before the heated gases that would have blinded me hit.  Reading this while i write it is quite painful, even with the pain pills and the dark shades on.    So i apologize for the fact that i will be out of commission for the most for a bit...as yet undetermined amount of time.  

The eyes will heal, but the doc says that my right eye looks like it was hit with a shotgun blast, there are a ton of abrasions and burns to the cornea, and a bad one on my left eye, with some more of the smaller ones.  

The only thing that i can do before i go out of commission totally is to upload the voices for TBP.  I'll get that done in the morning, but right now the drugs have kicked in, and i am going to be heading for bed soon.

Wow, sorry to hear that man, it sounds pretty major. Get well soon.

Ouch. That's pretty much all I can say.

Wish you a speedy recovery though - remember, bedtime/healing time > internet or anything else.

From what I hear, if it's a cornea burn, you shouldn't even be using your eyes.  If you can, get a sleeping eye cover and use it when you aren't doing anything.

Anyway, Good luck.  It's going to be a while before you adapt to a new sight...  And don't press it.  Time is the best medicine.


EDIT:  Shortened.  Alot.  I never fail at making myself look like an idiot.

and you go and write a long ass post like that for him to read :rolleyes:

Ouch.... you have my sympathy, that sounds really nasty.

Get well soon, and don't strain yourself worrying about how we'll cope without you :)
