Halleluiah!!! I can see!!!
The doctors told me I couldn't drive because the use of only one eye can throw your depth perception way off (read last post). So my mom had to drive me back down to Bloomington, and I can't deliver Jimmy John's this week. So much fo tips this week.
So I went to the Opthalmologist and got my eye checked out. It was a really long walk since I can't drive there due to the eye problem. They told me that the metal was in there pretty deep and that needed to use a needle, and maybe even a drill, to get it out.
...huh...
That kind of freaked me out a bit, but I wasn't going to argue will saving possible permanent cornea damage. The doctor numbed my eyes up; the left one too, just to be safe. He brought out his needle and started digging at my eye. I was breathing very heavily, but I could not feel a thing through the entire process. I could only hear the nasty, goosh, sound while the needle dug out the pieces of metal in my eye. It was a very awkward situation.
Then at last he was done. he put a potective clear contact lens in my eye, and I have to go in for a follow up on Wednesday. At least I don't have to wear the eyepatch anymore. I also have to put some sort of drops in my eye every four hous. But it looks like everything is going to work out fine. There is no permanent damage, and everything will heel up very quickly. I'm so relieved.
