Ever wonder what would happen if you were just standing there, minding your own business, when suddenly a chisel comes flying out of nowhere at a very rapid velocity and comes to a sudden stop in your eye?
No?
Me neither.
Yet, thanks to my very dear, oldest and bestest friend in the world, the man I promised to marry if we were both single by the age of thirty, a man I now consider to be my brother and who happens to be my husband’s bestest friend in the whole world, I now know.
It’s not very pretty.
Think squished grapes.
I’m going to be offline for a few days, holding a certain Cowboy’s hand, and making sure his wife eats until we know the status of his vision. Any well wishes or prayers you might want to send in our direction would certainly be appreciated.
Meanwhile, it’s not all bad. Did I mention his attending physician is unbelievably good-looking? It’s always nice to have a good piece of eye candy to drool over while stuck in a hospital and trying not to relive disturbing memories of your son’s life while praying for a miracle.
Be back soon. Unless of course the good-looking physician decides to kidnap me and take me to a deserted island.
Then you are on your own.






Kelley
Have you in my thoughts already. Gotz me some room for your bestie bloke.
And good looking doctors always make the time go faster. Perhaps not for your friend though. Drag his wife in there for a ogle, while she is there feed her something.
gorillabuns
But wait! what were the results?
carrie
You’re in my thoughts.
Stef
what is it with doctor’s these days, there should be a rule to stop good looking men from becoming doctors… every single doctor i’ve been to the last 5 years, ok except my gyni was absolutely freekin beautiful *sigh*

SciDi Dad
I’ll have a good thought for you and your friend.
beck
Ack, poor guy.
That happened to my husband’s uncle… and he did lose his eye but now he has a really great fake one that he likes to take out at family gatherings. So it all worked out.
Mary Burns

Minnie

Stacey
Sending good thoughts his way!
Maria
OH God! I hope he is okay!!!
That sucks!
Have you ever seen John From Cincinnati?
“I got my eye on you”
“No, I got my eye on YOU!”
Jonas
Oh, dear! Wishing for good outcomes!
Pam
How horrifying! I’m sorry you are having to go through this and it’s reminding you of Bug’s time in the hospital.
I will pray for a full recovery and I’ll listen for news of a certain gorgeous canadian being kidnapped in the near future!!
Aunt Becky
I have such a thing about stuff in eyes that I very nearly threw up when I got that visual. That said, tell him to hang in there and feel better soon. Poor guy.
Beth
Oh my goodness! I’ll be keeping you all in my thoughts and wishing for your friend’s smooth recovery.
Nancy
Sending good wishes & hopes for recovery on the vision.
Penelope Anne
Ouch! Mental image hurts….keep us posted, sending well wishes with you, and are you sure it won’t be you kidnapping the doctor?
andi
Oh my God! That’s awful. I hope he gets his sight back – at least you have some eye-candy to entertain you while you keep him company.
FishyGirl

Sending good karma cowboy’s way.
