Girlfalldown 0 #1 June 24, 2005 My left eye just popped out AGAIN only this time it rolled across my desk right out of the window! I ran downstairs and got it but it's all squashed and there's dirt in it and stuff. I tried rinsing it in cool water but that made it fog up. What should I do? I don't get off work for another 7 hours and on top of that I really don't feel like paying the $50 emergency room co-pay right now. Please help. -------------- (Do not, I repeat DO NOT, take my posts seriously.) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OK I tried this but I think I did it wrong because when I mixed the drain opener with the battery acid in the jar it immediately exploded and now I have a 4 inch gash in my right arm from the glass shards and it's squirting blood everywhere! My boss is so going to fire me for getting blood all over the white walls! I'll tie a tourniquet around it for now and try and clean this place up but in the meantime can you tell me what I did wrong? -------------- (Do not, I repeat DO NOT, take my posts seriously.)

NWFlyer 2 #12 June 24, 2005 Did you use a peanut butter jar? Because peanut butter is immediately explosive when combined with those ingredients. I should have warned you! Just let the blood dry, then use white-out to get the walls repainted."There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.

Spizzzarko 0 #19 June 24, 2005 according to a health website: Embedded Foreign Body (an object penetrates the globe of the eye) Call for emergency medical help. Cover the affected eye. If the object is small, use an eye patch or sterile dressing. If the object is large, cover the injured eye with a small cup taped in place. The point is to keep all pressure off the globe of the eye. Keep your child (and yourself) as calm and comfortable as possible until help arrives. Chemical Exposure Many chemicals, even those found around the house, can damage an eye. If your child gets a chemical in the eye and you know what it is, look on the product's container for an emergency number to call for instructions. Flush the eye (see above) with lukewarm water for 15 to 30 minutes. If both eyes are affected, flush them in the shower. Call for emergency medical help. Call your local poison control center for specific instructions. Be prepared to give the exact name of the chemical, if you have it. However, do not delay flushing the eye first. There are many causes of eye injuries. These include: Physical blow to the eye. Harsh chemicals like lye, bleach and acids can burn eye tissue and permanently damage the eyes. A grain of sand, fleck of paint, sliver of metal or splinter of wood can scratch the cornea and induce infection. Excessive exposure to the sun, very low humidity or a strong wind may dry the eyes so much they feel like sandpaper rubbing against your lids. Insect bites. Prevention Avoid alcohol. Never stare directly at the sun. Don't allow a child to stick his or her head out of the window of a moving vehicle. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Inevitably, it will hurt, maybe not now, maybe not in 3 hours, but yes, hurt, owie. second, the corn is the best bit because it preclueds the end of the main course and then they bring desesert. ummm, or something.Goddam dirty hippies piss me off! ~GFD "What do I get for closing your rig?" ~ me "Anything you want." ~ female skydiver Mohoso Rodriguez #865 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
