You know what they say “You’ll poke your eye out with that thing….” That thing was a dry erase marker I used to plug the leak in my sprinkler system Thursday morning. I was down there messing around with the knobs trying to fix it. Next thing I know I heard the sound of running water then a POP. I was directly over the pen when it shot me in the eye, man did that hurt. My eye filled with blood from a broken vessel so I went blind in my left eye for a little bit. I was driven to emergency and then sent to the eye doctor for further examination. I almost lost my breakfast as he was describing in detail what actually happened to my eye. But the good news is that I left the hospital with no major injuries, and some eye drops to put in over the next 3-4 days. The bad part is I will not be able to attend the Harmony Festival in Santa Rosa this weekend. I had a whole section of old pens removed on the Driver rear fender so the kids could put fresh pens on again. Now the car looks like a kitty after its been shaved for surgery.
