The crappiest weekend ever!!!!

I really was pumped about having 3 days off from work, family and the outside world so i could some work done on my truck. Man was I ever wrong, this was by far the worst weekend in history for me.

Friday went without a hitch, spent about 13 hours out in the shop. I finished up what I needed to do with rear minus waiting on the 4link. I started doing the cutting for the body drop. When I got home I talked to Seth for a bit and decided to take a shower and head for bed. After I get out of the shower I cant see out of my left eye, no pain just a lot of water and bright light. So I put some drops in my eyes and try to lay down. About an hour later I have a lot of pain in my left eye. I called my brother to drive me to the Hospital. I wait for about 2hrs (he lives about 2mi. from me, LOL). So we get to the hospital and they refuse to see me since my health insurence is not current (this has happened twice now this year) and I have no cash on me what so ever since some smuck decided to nail my Paypal account and my bank accounts were frozen. So I go back home, more pissed off then ever.

Saturday, not much better. My eye hurts like a MOFO. My house is clean though. What else can you do when you can't watch tv, sleep or drive??? I fianally get some sleep that afternoon and my eye feels better. I decide to drive out to the shop and do what I can. WRONG !!!!!!!! I made it about 3mi. and I had to turn around. I went to see my mom. She's the greatest at doctoring me up. Hell there were 5 boys in the family, she learned the hard way. LOL. She pulls a 1/4 sliver of metal out of the upper part of my eye!!!!
More drops and sleep for me finally.

Sunday, after all the family hoohah I can actually see and light isn't bothering my eye so bad. I get to the shop and start making up for lost time. I grab the grinder and go to town. After about 15min. of use the SOB burns up. So I grab the welder and do some welding. Then it decdes to quit on me. I then decide to leave before anything else breaks on me. On the way home I get a speeding ticket for doing 55 in a 50.

Monday, I go see the eye doctor. She tells me I need to have surgery on my eye due to all the scarring I have gotten from this weekend. Now its off to work to see what else can go go wrong.

that sucks man but everyone has times like these, it could be worse though, but atleast you still have your health, family, and truck

Man, thats hard to hear Quinn. That really sucks. I know how that eye thing goes, I've had ey surgery twice for particles stuck in my eye. Best thing to do is to wear some form fitting safety glasses (like clear sunglasses) AND a face shield. I haven't gotten a thing in my eye since.

I wear a face shield all the time. I think I might have just had something in my hair or eyebrows because I didn't have any problems until I took a shower. It sucks because I have bad enough eyesight the way it is without having to go through this.

damm man that does suck but at least you didn't lose your eye lol

Damn man sorry to hear of all the bad luck atleast your alive though dude....be glad of that

that sucks bro

whenever im doing grinding or what not, i whip out the ol' JT paintball mask lol

how horrid
lol

sorry to hear that, been there.

Tonight at work I couldn't count how many times somebody asked me if I were stoned, LOL. i Understand my eyes are all red and one is barely open but sheesh.

Tonight was a better night though, I haven't had too many problems with it tearing up or the lights really affecting me unless I look at something bright for a long time. I guess it could have been worse,
