I learned something today.... safety glasses arent always enough....
I was out working on the allis exhaust and decided to grind some splatter away from where my next weld would be.
I directed the sparks in another direction. About five seconds in, this orangeish yellow thing comes flying at me. I felt it hit my forehead and then felt something hot in my eye.
It fell down between my glasses and my head.
Washed it out really good and still wouldnt come out. Kept trying, nothing.
My mom took my to the emergency room and from there was sent to urgent care... We sat around for three hours and then was told to go somewheres else in the morning.
So here i am eating mcdonalds at 10:59 pm with an eye patch, a little "off" from vikiden and really frustrated. Stupid thing probabally wont work anyway. lol. it would be my luck. Theres times when i believe im quite possibly the unluckiest person on the face of the earth... But hey, chicks dig eye patches.
Its all good. My eyesight is in no danger from what they say, and whatever big long word they used will supposidly begin to heal immeditially.
This still really sucks.
Im going to buy a full face mask before i touch the dang thing again.
The ironic part is this happened when i was wearing glasses, which, honestially, i dont always do. But i guess i will now.
When this dang tractor is finnally done, it'll all be worth it. Or i'll be dead. Possibly both.
Oh well....
This place is going to use a dremal like tool to remove it somehow.
Two hours later i'll be on a plane to virginia. My grandma died last summer... and my grandpa has decided its time to go to new york to my uncles farm and sell his house down south.
He needs someone to help him move.
Im in.
See yall in two weeks!!! Please hope this eye thing goes right tomorrow :-)
