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.

Eyes give me the willies. I can do poop, pee, vomit and mucous, as well as open wounds that are almost down to the bone, but eyeballs. Yuck!
Hope he’s better soon and hope he keeps his sight.
Don’t forget to wear you low cut shirt. Just saying.
Sandy
You and your friends are in my prayers and I am a firm believer in miracles. Just remember to take care of you so you can take care of them.

How awful. Made me cringe trying to imagine it.
You, he and his family are in my thoughts.
(Don’t distract the doctor!)
Bri
Ack! I’ve spent some time in the hospital due to eye injuries, and they are never fun. (not me, flying glass sent boyfriend #2 to the emergency, and then he managed to injure the same eye, again!)
Also, shame on you! If there is hot doctor, you must send him my way, can’t let you marrieds have him!
Am sending good thoughts to the cowboy by way of you, make sure he gets them, k?
Annie
Oh, serious ouchness. I shudder to think about it. I’m off to not think about it anymore.
Gunfighter
Prayers and well-wishes?
Done.
As for good looking doctors… my new dentist is kind of cute… but there is no way to flirt while she is using sharp dental tools in my mourth.
cathy
Wow! That is terrible. Here are some wishes your way for a speedy recovery!!
Jocelyn
Having gone through four eye surgeries this past summer, albeit none so serious as this, all my good wishes are with your friend. And maybe you could sneak a quick pic of the hot doc for us?
Jenny
Ew, eye jelly. I think there’s a name for it. Vitreous humor, I think? I’m not sure what’s humorous about it. Except that I did giggle at this post so maybe it’s aptly named after all.
Big hugs to your friend’s eye jelly.
Tiffani
Oh My Gosh! So scary. We are sending good thought and prayers for you. I hope he is ok!
LawyerMama
Oh, that is so disturbing! Break my leg, saw off my arm, but leave the eyes alone. I hope he’s OK.
Kristin
WOW! yikes, this is why I am not a medical profession other than a good bandade wrapper arounder. ha. Anwyay – found your blog through rockstarmommy. LOVE IT.
MammaLoves
Would you say the doc has chiseled good looks??
Sorry, I couldn’t help it.
I will seriously say prayers for your friend and his family. I hope this has a happy ending.
L.A. Daddy
Yeah, I was going to go with the “chiseled features” but MammaLoves beat me to it…
Hope all turns out well. Accidents suck.
Sarcastic Mom
Yeah, no one wakes up in the morning and prepares for shit like THAT.
Prayers heading his way.
Jake
Sending hope and wishes toward the family.
Jess
Thinking of you and your friends. I can’t imagine it’s easy at all for you to be in that hospital.
Dawn
totally throwing up in my mouth.

HRH@JuneCleaverNirvana
So sorry…sending thoughts and prayers your way.
Ree
Oh, Mah Holy Hell. And Yikes. Give them a kiss from me (hope they don’t think they have a weird internet stalker…).
