So I spent Friday evening in hospital in Stevenage having an injection in my eyeball

[Burney]

I'm prepared to bet none of you can beat that for sheer shítness.

What happened Burney? as nobody else is polite enough to ask.

Thank you, f. I suffered a fairly serious eye inflammation called uveitis, which I stupidly mistook for a bout of conjunctivitis. The injection was necessary because my cornea was stuck to my iris and my pupils couldn't dilate. Apparently, if left, it could have led to parmanent loss of vision.

Blimey. With one knacker and one eye, you'd have been a diversity recruitment officer's wet dream.

Are you in discomfort? What is your recovery plan?

They are brilliant. I'd quite like a permanent supply. I assume they're cocaine-based?

Not in any discomfort now. It was agony Thursday and Friday, though. My eye was blood red and absolutely pïssing fluid, which prompted my wife to force me to go to the doctor.

I am taking two types of eye-drops, an ointment and have to go back to the hospital on Friday.

That sounds very unpleasant. I wish you a full and speedy recovery etc.

Ouch - hope it clears up

ty a. Suffice to say, I've had better Friday nights. :-)

ty la. Most kind.

Lister Hospital? How long was the wait? They've had to shut A & E on a few occasions due being overrun with patients.

Well I went there first at about 2-ish and they sent me home to come back for an appointment at 6.30. So it wasn't too bad, but if I'd had to stay there, it would have been pretty shît.

Dunno LA - I reckon a potentially blindness inducing flare up lasting a week or so would be good drama for the board and might instil a little humility into the miserable old tosser :nod:

Well cancer didn't, so I doubt partial blindness would. :shrug:

I think they are. I did ask for some when I had an eye injury. Apparently prolonged use or overuse ****s up your conjunctiva :-(

[Herbette Chapman - aged 15]

Would cancer of the eyes do it? Come to think of it, I've never heard of that happening. Clearly The Lord should have made us from the same material he used for the old mince pies.

Ouch!!!

Dare I ask how it felt to have a needle in your eye? :shudder:

Interestingly, what I did discover is that your average quack won't go near eyes. Don't understand 'em, see? I was referred from the GP to the high street ophthalmologist and thence to the specialist eye hospital.

[Burney]

A slight bit of pressure and nothing more, really. It's the idea of it that's a bit gross. The experience doesn't hurt at all. You are very keen to stay very, very still, though.

I would definitely want to shut my eye so I couldn't see the weapon approaching. :-(

They tell you to focus on a spot on the ceiling and then they approach you sneakily from the side, so you don't actually see it coming.
