Nearly lost an eye
I was in a rush this morning before work to grind a piece of my modified exhaust down to fit the tummy tuck. It was dark and I only had my sunglasses to use for eye protection. I took them off because I couldn't see and sure enough a razor sharp piece of steel hit my eye. I luckily had a mirror near by was able to hold my eye open and pull it out. I got a slight cut near the inside corner of my eye ball but I was able to get the piece out before it cut me up to bad.
What did I learn? Wear eye protection.

It was just stupid on my part. As a firefighter and an adult I should have known better.

Glad you got it out. Keep an EYE on it so it doesn't get infected. Sorry, I could not help it.
I have had to go to the emergency room a couple of time for getting saw dust in my eye. it is no fun.

I even carry a pair in my truck just in case I need them while out. I cut my cornea years ago and its one of those pains that you do not easily forget.
Glad you were able to get it out.

Glad your ok. I have a odd tendency to get stuff in my eye, like fried chicken once. I carry two safety glass in my rig and have on order a military grade goggle/sunglass to wear when I'm outdoor. I can't imagine having something like that in my eye, just thinking bout it makes me shutter.

Wow, that sounds like a serious lack of fun! And to think it hurts when I get an eye lash under my contact lens... Glad you got it out ok.
