I've been putting a bit of weight on lately so I started playing squash again always loved the game, I found some one to play a bit of a novice but he was very fit so we both got a good run around out of it !
On Monday we played at lunch time as always and after half an hour I knew it was going to be a hard fought game as I had a racket smashed across my back and a ball smack into the back of my leg ! (the joys of sport ) but five minutes before our time ran out I caught a squash ball at full pelt in the eye !
To try and discribe the pain is impossible ! but after a few minutes it eased and we gave up and went back to work
As the day went on it started to feell sore and I was expecting a black eye out of it , next morning however the pain was gone ! for all of two minutes untill I opened my left eye,
I got to spend the day in A and E to start Xrays for a fracterd eye socket followed by eye drops and being proded poked but they could not get my prupil to dilate ,and what they did to my left eye they did to my right to compare results !
So by 6pm last night I was near enough blind in both eyes !
With that I am off work for 5 days and have more eye drops than you can shake a stick at !
The final out come is I have a graze on my cornea, and Iris locked in spasm along with heavey brusing to my eye ball and socket !
The docs think I was lucky as hopefully no perminate damage !
and the point of this thread !
who says trying to be healthy and excercising is good for you ! I tried it and ended up in hospital !
