Today I was asked to move a large branch to clear a path for the neighbors since it was in the way. There had been a dust storm the day before, causing a bunch of debris on the roads. I, was the only one capable of doing the job, since everyone else in the household is sick. When I went out there, I saw the behemoth and like the tough man I am, I began manhandling it… before I knew it, it had decided to strike back at me with one of its shorter branches… and right into my eye it went, causing a cornea abrasion. I did try avoiding going to the doctor but ended up having to go anyways. They were able to numb my eye and see the abrasion. So all I can say is, make sure to wear goggles when going to clean debris off the sidewalks… P.S. my wife wrote this for me because I can’t really open my eyes too well 😅
TL;DR moved a branch, branch poked eye

You fought the branch, and the branch won! Sorry OP
At least now you can see where you went wrong.
You’ve got to be prepared for eye level sticks
Wellington Paranormal is a fucking gift I’m telling you.
I’ve done everything from ice climbing to mountaineering on glaciers and the time I got hurt was getting out of my car when I arrived at my outing club’s cabin. As soon as I got out of my car I stepped up to a pine branch and a needle stabbed me right in the eye.
I always wear glasses when bushwhacking because it is impossible to see all of the little branches competing to blind you.
Tried to avoid the doctor, yep mancard still checks out, carry on.
Just recovered from removing 30% of my left cornea. I feel ya
Damn man! Feel better
I hope you feel better.
Dude, eye scratches are the worst! I’ve had like 3 now. Eye protection is no joke.
