Nothing serious of course. Riding to subway, had my visor up like I normally do in hot weather. I was wearing my oaklies, which I thought would protect my eyes. Something made its way around them and into my eye. I tried to get it out at a stop light but couldnt. I was almost there so I just rode the rest of the way and then tried to get it out there, but I still couldnt. I got my sub and went back home. Tried for like 30 minutes to get it out (flushed it with water, sprayed water in my eye with that attatchment on kitchen sinks, nothing worked). I went to a group meeting hoping it would work its way out, but no luck. I could see it sitting in my iris. About 10 or 15 years ago I got something stuck in my eye and couldnt get it out. I had to go to the ER so this time around I pretty much knew thats what I was gonna have to do.
I bummed a ride to the hospital, and after about 3 hours of waiting got it taken care of. They gave me Lortab for the "pain". I asked if I really needed it, and they said it may not hurt now, but when you try to sleep it will really bother you. Even though whatever was in there is out now, I can still feel the abbrasion on my eye when I blink. Anyways, always ride with your visor down, even if your wearing sunglasses.
