Wear your goggles - A short cautionary tale

[ronh72c10]

Well I'm back from the ER and have a belly full of pasta and garlic bread so I can admit how stupid I was yesterday and hopefully encourage some smarter behaviour in others.

I was working on the passenger door of the C10 cutting the door bottom out and fitting a new piece, I was nearly done fitting and just needed to do a little more grinding. Ahhh, two seconds worth of grinding who needs safety googles, two seconds later a metal fragment got past my regular glasses and embedded itself in my right eye. That's ok, it's come out on it's own before, I don't need to go to the hospital this time.

One day later it's not coming out and I head to the ER, you know it's not good when the doctor looks in your eye and says to the nurse get me a 22 gauge needle. Fortunately my eye was numb but I could still feel him working the needle and really had a good look at it. The punchline is that I have to go back tomorrow to get the rest out and to "GRIND OUT" the rust ring it left.

Do I really need to tell you the moral of this story?
