Freak Accident...

with the kitchen soap dispenser.

Thom and I were on opposite sides of our kitchen counter when he accidentally knocked the dish soap dispenser into the sink. It landed on its head causing it to pump once at just the right trajectory to land in my left eye! Kitchen soap is caustic stuff! And I'm still recovering from a chest cold. My mother always said that bad things come in threes, I can't help but wonder what's next.

Flush it with eye wash from our first aid kit - a sterile, ph balanced solution. And a lovely eye patch made from a 4 by 4 bandage and tape. I'll lose the eye patch so I can drive to work today.

It's pretty ugly. The eyelids are all swollen and of course the eye itself is bloodshot. Dish soap is nasty and it entered at a high rate of speed. It made me glad we had taken all sorts of first aid classes and we have a really well stocked first aid kit.

Ouch- hope it calms down soon.

Owie! Hope it feels better soon.

I hope you are feeling better; I can slightly sympathize after once wiping my hand across my eye, not realizing there was dish soap on it.
Had to throw away that contact lens immediately .
I also hope your kids were sympathetic.
