Title: Have you ever smacked yourself in the eyeball?
Post by: Rush on February 14, 2024, 08:02:52 AM
You're having a bad day to begin with. You snap a shirt off the hanger and it flies right into your open eyeball scraping your cornea. You didn't have time to close your lid.  >:(  Of course, every day Biden is in office is a bad day.

The good news is that while it hurts like heck for a while, the cornea is the fastest-healing tissue in the body!

It is!  Too bad the pain of a Biden presidency lasts far longer.

Lots of folks have done the equivalent - corneal abrasion due to a “malfunctioning” contact lens.

Been there done that, back when all contact lenses were the hard kind. The edge like a knife if it hit you wrong. Or if it got lost up under the lid and you had to scrape it back down into place. My eyes didn't like them, and I wasn't even very tolerant of the soft kind when they came out. I finally gave up and accepted being bespectacled.

Oh then you will not want me to tell you about the procedures done on my eyes when I had retina detachments.  While I was fully awake.  The cataract surgery was much better, they put me out for that. Except right before I went to sleep the surgeon assured me he knew what he was doing; he’d watched a YouTube video on it.

He couldn’t pass muster as a standup comic, so he went into medicine.
