in the valley of the blind, the one eyed man is king.
i was riding through the park this morning and spotted several cans in the bushes. i left the iron maiden on the path and entered the bushes to retrieve the cans. since the iron maiden was by herself i was picking up the cans as fast as i could. while bending down in a hurry i got a stick in the eye. i yelled fuck several times.
the eye was bleeding and i couldn't see for sour apples. i rode home and felt sorry for myself. i went to the walk in clinic and was checked by a lovely russian doctor. she was slim and i loved her accent. she gave me a prescription and a referral to an opthamologist. the eye doctor gave a thorough check. i have a gouged eye ball and a scratched cornea. i feckin hurts like crazy. he gave me some drops, he said the ointment prescribed by the russian was no good. he also put in some kind of lens to protect the cornea. i have to go back and see him on friday. i'd rather go see the russian.
in picking up about 50 cents worth of cans i've cost the medical system several hundred dollars and have an eye that hurts like crazy. i also have a toothache and have an appointment with the dentist tomorrow morning for cleaning and scaling. i might chicken out and not tell her about the toothache.
i'm falling apart faster than a dodge caravan.
poor little, poor little me.

Oh wow, that sucks. Hope it heals ok... Maybe in the future you should consider wearing sweet post-Apocalyptic goggles while collecting cans? It would have the added benefit of adding to your local reputation.
I was laughing because I couldn't picture you in post-Apocalyptic goggles... but then I realized how dumb that was... I've no clue what you look like.
On a serious note, I know that hurts. My brother did something similar and scratched his cornea. You take extra good care of that eye, an infection could be serious.
I'd hate to have to start calling you "billy cyclops". You make a much better pilgrim. And you know, I'm in physical therapy because I fell head first into a garbage can and slid down a set of hardwood bleachers. We do what we do. ;-)
Another tragic recyclng incident.
Can't we just stop the madness??
josh - mad max! i like it.
ananda - i got drops and an ointment. the drops don't hurt but the ointment do.
sling - this sobriety is killing me. since i lost my "lunatic and drunk" status, god is no longer looking over me. or maybe it's because i wouldn't pay his 10% protection fee.
Oh you poor thing...Do you get a cool pirate eye patch?
Damn it you can't fall apart now. I need you now more than ever. Plus if it gets really bad we can rebuild you. I think I saw on that television show once. Hope you are feeling better.
i think babs has some left over eye patches from her surgery and we can chip in and send you a toy parrot to wear on your shoulder..
sorry to hear about your eye..and your toofie..that's sad...
speaking of sad..has anyone heard from nitwit? he has dropped off the radar, answers no emails and his phone number that i googled is disconnected...i am worried about him..
sage - no eye patch but a lot of "i told you so's"
mr shife - i'm thinking of having myself cloned in north korea.
yellowdog - i need some zz top cheap sunglasses until things heal.
no idea re nitwit.
poor Leo.
you're a hot mess.
