Wow. What a story. I have been whacked very hard from bands in doors (fortunate they didn't hit me mid throat or in the face), so your story makes that feel even scarier! Glad you are recovering.
What happened next?! So scary and well written. My dad lost an eye in a childhood car accident and had a glass eye or an eyepatch. Also one of my cousins lost an eye in college so lots of eye trauma in my family. Xo
Wow! that is quite the family eye trauma. I am working on part 2. It is a lot to relive and didn't want to overwhelm people with it! Thank you on the writing compliment. It's a process....
Great title! My heart started racing and my mouth got dry, even though I know the ending. I could picture all of this! It’s a story we can all learn from. Never stop sharing it!
Thank you for sharing this story Ali. Sudden freak accidents are so traumatizing and make us feel vulnerable for years to come. I hope your eye fully healed.
Thanks, Sarah. Yes, definitely agree with that! Although it is not fully healed, I received amazing care and have learned to work with how it is. It is amazing how the body learns to adapt.
what a horrendous and disconcerting experience! I remember when this happened to you, and I feel your pain all over again, which is a testament to your vivid writing.

thanks for reading Paula. And so glad you weren't injured further.
Knowing you story, I was able to really appreciate your writing and retelling of that day. You are so blessed it turned out as good as it did. ❤️
Thanks Susan! Yes. I feel incredibly grateful for my amazing surgeons and nurses and the love of friends!
