Freak Accidents
This lady at the gym has been wearing an eye patch over one eye recently. I was guessing she may have had cataract surgery. She said she was opening her car door and hit herself in the eye. Ever since then, she has been having vision trouble, seeing doubles, etc. So without the patch, she can't process very well. She has gone for cat scans and all kinds of tests, but they don't know what the problem is. The doctor thinks she may have damaged the nerve and the hope is that it will repair itself in time. Meanwhile, it's apparently okay for her to drive. Isn't this such an unfortunate freak accident? I get bruises all the time, but usually it's an arm or a leg.

Oh my gosh, I've bonked myself in the head with cupboard doors. She must have hit herself pretty hard. Hope things work out ok for her.
Car door can be dangerous when you are not careful
I do think we must be careful. With everything. We must calm down and not always be in a rush. I bumped and bruised myself, my arms, my thighs, me head many times too. All because I was always in a rush with a lot of things on my mind and not focus.
Japra, I don't remember her saying it was that hard of a hit even.
Pete, you're so right. People smash their fingers, etc.
Ocean Girl, that's a really good point you make, we do have to slow down and focus.
Good gosh!!! I have to tell my daughter. She'll feel better that it's not just her. She did the same thing. THANK GOODNESS my daughter missed her eye. She did get a nasty cut above her eye and there was a lot of blood, but it could have been worse.
This reminded me of the freak accident that a friend had when she grabbed the refrigerator door handle to open it up...and it came off in her hand causing her to fall backwards. Who would ever saw that coming!
Ouch! Poor lday. Sounds like something my mother would do.
I wonder, how can she drive with one eye00in 2D? My friend who has double vision, thus @D isn't allowed to drive for that very reason.
Odd, isn't it?
Kay that was lucky for Tif.
Mare that almost sounds like a comedy routine, seriously, I hope she wasn't hurt.
Mmm, I think she has normal vision if she covers the injured eye. It seems people are allowed to drive with one eye. She said she doesn't even go that far.
