Spent the morning in A & E having my right eye looked at, turns out it
is scratched. The cause was a twiggy branch from a hibiscus that caught
under my glasses and went straight up into my eye whilst hand weeding.
This is the second time that similar has happened and the first time I
was within 48 hours of loosing my sight according to the surgeon. That
time my right eye was stabbed by the leaf of a oleander and abscessed.
I'm wondering if it's time to wear protecting eye wear if I go anywhere
near plants.

Ouch Bob and 'yes' to the eye wear! Hope it's better very soon.
