[Rabid]

Get well soon! I hope there is no permanent damage.

[BPTactical]

Nothing permanent, just a nasty scratch, feels like sand in the eye.

Errant chip made it in under my glasses.
Hellacious headache though...

[cstone]

It's cause you was listen to dat debil music too damn loud!

I hope it heals up quickly and doesn't become a nagging irritant.

[Dr_Fwd]

[Big Wall]

[BPTactical]

I hope it heals up quickly and doesn't become a nagging irritant.

"Dat debil music" is what I listened to in high school.
It is now known as "oldies".

"Nagging Irritant"?
Too late, I'm married.......

[Mazin]

Damn man get better soon! Glad it didn't do any permanent damage.

[jhood001]

Try to keep the sun out of your eyes. That is to say: your eye.

[ChadAmberg]

Get it out with a magnet? That worked on me years ago..

[GhostRider]

[pickenup]

That sucks. Eyes seem to heal up pretty quick. Hope yours does.

[BPTactical]

Doin ok, Vicoden is a wonderful thing, went out to Golden and checked out some rides and ran into Opie11(Eric and family).

Thanks guys.

[brutal]

Take it easy, get better soon.

Friend shot himself in the eye with a staple gun years ago. Yea, a freakin staple partially imbedded in his eyeball. Putting up Christmas lights and caught a ricochet.

[gnihcraes]

Get well. I did that once, sucked.

[SideShow Bob]

Did it happen while opening a can of cat food for a quick snack ?

Seriously, glad there wasn't any major damage, get well soon.

[opie011]

It was good seeing out there man! Take er easy and rest up...

[02ducky]

Yup eyes injuries are no joke, hope it gets better.

[theGinsue]

It was good seeing out there man! .

Man, that's just cruel.


Bert, glad they got the metal removed and you're gonna get healed up nicely. Was it metal from a gun? I always heard you had an eye for the ladies, and another for guns, but this is taking it a bit far don't you think?

Holler if you need anything.

[Byte Stryke]

Get better soon Brother

[UncleDave]

Bert, you know you are not supposed to use those cheater glasses as safety goggles right? On a serious note, eye injuries do heal real fast. A day or two and you'll be right as the rain. Enjoy the drugs and rest.

[sroz]

Glad it wasn't as bad as it could have been. Heal up fast!

[Skully]

Ouch! I been there and done that.

A Couple years back I had a piece of metal in the eye from grinding on my Jeep. I am a wussy when it comes to having my eye touched. The Doc had to put my head in a vice thingy while a nurse held my head in it. Headaches, couldn't sleep, ..ran into walls and door jams cause my vision was compromised.


They say your eye is the fastest healing thing, feels like forever.

Hang in there
[Beer]

[mtnhack]

After many trips to the ER, I found the best thing about eye injuries is that they get you to the front of the line!

Heal up.

[palepainter]

No fun there Bert, just caught your post. Once was enough for me. I feel your pain.

[Sharpienads]

Sorry man. Hope everything heals quickly.

[82ndShooter]

Hope your recovery is speedy and painless as possible. Eye injuries truly suck.

[reapur]

Holy Cow Bert, get well soon. While coming out of surgery once, I scratched my cornea and it was the worst pain. Had to wear a fake contact for a week while the eye healed.

[Mtn.man]

didn't yo momma tell you better?

Bought an Eye Spud form the medical supply one end is a polished magnet slide it over the eye to remove ferrous metals
the other end is a Nylon loop for other stuff.
Saves alot of money for the ER, eye doc etc. Most foreign objects are easily removed minutes after the problem, but the longer you have to wait the more embedded they become.

[Dingo]

Sorry to hear that, man. Eye stuff does suck...

When I had my LASIK done years ago, I had some sort of unanticipated reaction to the procedure. Both eyes hemorrhaged and swelled shut. Felt like someone poured ground glass in them for 4 days, and the Dr wouldn't give me pain meds. Ended up breaking the neck off my prized bottle of vintage 2000 Kendal Jackson and drank the entire thing just to numb up a bit in the first few hours...

Here's to a speedy recovery and no lasting damage!!

[hghclsswhitetrsh]

Between this and your other "activities" you're determined to go blind huh?

Just kidding, get well soon!

well with the extra hair he'll grow on his palms, at least his tactile-feel capabilities will supplement the loss of his vision

[Tinelement]

Heal up Sir!

I know how you feel. I have a "frequent flyer" card to the eye doctor for junk removal!!

[HoneyBadger]

Doesn't a little soap and water usually wash that out?? ;)

stop letting people put their junk in your eyes...

not that there's anything wrong with that lifestyle... being LGBT month and all...

[ROFL1]

[Ronin13]

Damn Bert, get better! That sucks. I remember a guy in Afghanistan (not our unit, but he was in our BDE) had a piece of shrapnel go into his eye- the Wiley-X goggles he had on stopped it from being fatal or having him lose sight in the eye- but a chunk of metal put a nice scar on the white of his eye... He said that was a pucker factor of about 100... on a scale of 1-10.

[CO Hugh]

Good Luck BP

[TFOGGER]

That sucks there, Bert. Hopefully you heal quickly and completely.

[ChrisC]

Take care of yourself Bert and get well soon.

[JOEO]

Bummer Bert take it easy and let that heal up.

[RCCrawler]

Damn that sucks, eye problems are the worst. A few years ago I had fuel sprayed into both eyes, as such a pressure that it got behind both eyes. I had to wear patches on both eyes for over a week. It sucked real bad being totally blind.


went out to Golden and checked out some rides and ran into Opie11(Eric and family).

Thanks guys.

I was there all night too, never saw you.

[Tinelement]

Shoulda saw that cumin...... I mean coming!!

[Bang] [ROFL1]

[Bang] [ROFL1]

I thought cumin was a spice one uses cooking.....


I was looking for you RC, did you drive the truck?

[RCCrawler]

Yea drove the truck, got there about 6, did 2 laps, then parked at McDonalds. We were there until probably 9:30.

[Gman]

Ouch!!!

Rest that eye and heal up quick!
