Good luck, even though I'm not sure you need it anymore. Good things come to good people, and to those who wait, and you've waited your fair share of time.

Kids are extremely lazy nowadays. The amount of physical work I do in a day is more than youngins do in a month. There is no work ethic anymore.

It was a good thing I couldn't have my gun down there because I would have been very tempted to take out some tires.
Congrats on the nephew!

Hey that offends me! Just kidding, but I do agree. There are very few people my age with a good work ethic.

If your down here in MD and you start shooting tires just remember dont shoot any black Crew Cab 7.3 trucks, Mines black and I think Brenden's is too.

I'd only shoot in Mass. They really don't know how to drive... and don't give a ratsa$$ either. They all drive Volvos and Jags and Scaabs and Lexus and Audis down there... yuppy cars. I was tempted to drive over a couple. Didn't want to get shyte on my explorer tho.

You have to research what your symptoms are before you go, and become an informed patient, that way you have a better idea of what the doctors approach will be. They are a little more cautious if you know something about whats going on.

It's when the iris becomes enflamed. Hurt like hell, couldn't see properly.

Then, I got to see an eye surgeon, who confirmed what I had, but couldn't tell me the cause. It wasn't from a foreign object. But he gave me some drops, and for a few weeks there, I still couldn't see properly because of one of the medications. It dilated my pupil. The other one I'm still taking twice a day, down from every hour. Now I've got to find a regular eye doctor to keep monitoring it.

Saved my eye though, because untreated, iritis will cause blindness.

Dang. I'm glad you went and got it checked out, thats kinda scary. My brother is a mechanic, and used to do a lot of welding. On multiple occasions he would call me to come over to his house and ask me to pull tiny shards of metal out of his eye with tweezers. The first few times he did it, he went to the eye doc until he realized that all they were doing was pulling the metal pieces out and putting in antibacterial eye drops...so he decided he wasn't going to go anymore.

I've pulled a lot of metal pieces out of an eyeball.

I hope your eye continues to get better and that maybe they can figure out what is causing the problem.
