I got my ass kicked by a tree on Earth Day.
I was minding my own business, hunting for mushrooms, when I was visciously attacked by a cedar tree. I have suffered a corneal abrasion across my iris which is quite painful and limits me to about ten to twenty minutes of time that I can keep my good eye open.
I have to wear a lame eye patch until tomorrow at the soonest. I've been given hydrocodone + acetaminephin and antibiotic eye drops. The eye drops burn like nothing I've ever experienced before, so I am quite thankful for the hydrocodone.
I now feel like the lamest person on the face of the planet.
"Dude, what happened to your eye?"
"I got my ass kicked by a tree."
"LOLOMFGROOFLEZ!!"

I was supposed to go to the eye doctor a few months ago for an eye test to determine what, if any, corrective lenses I needed because I have some issues with one of my eyes sucking.
Now I'll have to go to find out what damage was done since the scratch is over my iris.

aww I hope it heals well. Maybe I'll start wearing my glasses more often to protect myself from angry trees.

Hell, y'got a good point there, tack. I'm near-sighted, so I wear glasses. I've thought about gettin' lasiked, but whenever I think 'bout it, I also recall the numerous times one o' my eyes has been spared serious injury because I wuz wearin' glasses.
Sumpin' t'think about.
Amen.

Mother Earth, what a bitch. She goes straight for the eyes. There's probably a lesson in this somewhere.

Hence the attack by ninjas. Some rivalries can't be contained.

Well, they can have my pills. They're worthless. After the first dose they've pretty much stopped working.
