So last night, about 8pm, was pissballing around with the dog when the little fur ball caught me in the eye with a claw... instant white hot pain!...
rinsed the eye as best I could and carried on as normal...
could I get to sleep? Nope, not a chance... my eye was leaking tears like you would not believe, my nose (only one nostril) was pissing fluid also...
By 4.30am I was on the phone to 111 to see what they suggested... didn’t really want to go to a&e in the current situation... but yep, an hour later and I’m walking half blind round to the hospital (5 min walk)... dreading a massive wait...
No bugger in there!!!! Apart from myself and two nurses... turns out that 6am on a Sunday morning is normally “quiet time” coupled with the fact that as the pubs are shut there’s less “accidents” (also suspect folk are staying away for less serious stuff)...
saw the doctor... I haz a small hole in my lens and a few small scratches...
Eye drops/gel, eye patch and a referral to the eye clinic next week!... was back home by 7.15!!!!
top work, our nhs is fuggin brilliant!... even if I’d had to wait hours I’d still be singing their praises this morning!...
moral of the story?
don’t get a dog!...

3months later I spent 3 weeks in hospital while they battled not to amputate my hand .
I had got an infection deep in the tissue that gave me osteomylitus (infection of the bone marrow ) .
I had 2 operations including a bone graft and was on IV antibiotics for 3 weeks followed by oral for 2 weeks .
You'd have thought I was bitten by a Komodo Dragon.
Dogs carry a lot of nasty bacteria on their teeth and claws.
I did as I was told and went to bed.
Also chips are "Plant-based" no matter how you cook them.
