We need to know how this happened. You realise that, I hope.

Also, favourites BP's comment a thousand times over.

I had 4 sheets of 40 lb. 8.5x11 paper in my right hand and two small boxes in my left. The boxes started to tilt forward so I brought my right hand up to balance them and the corner of a page slid up under my glasses and it felt like being punched in the eye.

Now I am typing this with 70% gradient sun glasses on in an unlighted room.

You went to the ED for a paper cut? You young people are soft, I tell ya. Why, back in my day, we used to beg on street corners for paper cuts.

Sorry for your eye (I had a corneal abrasion once and it hurt like a mf), but I must defend Judge Judy. She says the things I often wish I could say. Plus, she reminds me of my Aunt Rita, who pinches, but that's another issue.

Hope it heals up soon, arsey!
