Deer season may be short
I got up this morning to go out for deer as I had stayed home yesterday. I should have stayed in bed! I went out to bring in some wood for the furnace and I tripped and fell face forward in to the wheel barrel full of wood. As I went down I tried to put my hands out to stop myself and I hit a log on the end with my hand and it flipped it back toward me and it got me in the right eye as I went down. I have blurry vision now in a eye that was fantastic before. Can't get in to see a doctor until tomorrow late afternoon unless I lose my vision completely in the right eye. I am a mess right now and probably will clean up my rifles and write off the rest of season. I just hope it gets better because of the great eye sight I still enjoyed up until this happened. I will definitely have a big shiner coming up. If anyone asks what happened I am going to say "This is what happens when you want to go in the woods and your wife don't want you to go."

Re: Deer season may be short
I had a stick falling out of a tree hit me in the open eye years ago. Scratched the cornea. That eye was very blurry. Went to the ER. They put some ointment in it, a patch over it, and told me to leave it on for 24 hours. When I pulled the patch, I was back to normal. Well, my eye was normal anyway.
Hopefully it will be as simple as that for you. Good luck.

Re: Deer season may be short
I wish you the best. A couple years ago I had serious vision problems but everything healed fine. Don't be surprised if you have a total and complete recovery.

I hope you have a quick and full recovery, Bandit. I am so glad it was not worse because from your description of events, it really could have been a tragic accident. Keep us posted.

Take care and get better
Eye injurys SUCK, been there, usually metal/rust.
I used to be able to get stuff out myself, but close vision is fading fast
