Oh snap!! Mine was the 7th so probably older than you .......... but i
have been to the gym this morning so not yet incapable ..... Poked my eye
and scratched it digging out Pampas grass so spent the entire evening in A
& E....

and look on the bright side, you get a nice letter about testing for bowel
cancer in this area when you reach this ripe old age.!


Janet please be careful about your eye. I walked into our Oliander bush a
few years back and a leaf went under my glasses and into my eye. The first A
& E said it was scratched and gave me some drops but it didn't improve. The
second A & E took me straight to their eye clinic and the surgeon there put
me on 3 drops to save my eye. Turns out I hadn't scratched it I had stabbed
it and was within 48 hours of losing my sight when he first looked at it.
If your eye does not improve in a few days go back and demand to see an eye
surgeon.
