Eye accident, pretty nasty!

I have a fracture in my eye socket bone, some lasserations, and it is uncertain wether I will lose my eye or not. This video is taken approximately 36 hours after the incident. Thank You to the amazing ER Doctor who is responsible for saving my eye if it is to be saved. He urgently tried to find an eye doctor in my town, and when he was only able to find one in Grand Rapids, he felt like if we waited that long I'd lose my eye. He performed a procedure on my eye himself, admitting he'd only ever done one in Medical School. He did a procedure to relieve the pressure behind my eye which ultimately would have made me lose my eye had he not done it. Thank you to him and all of the staff at Hackley Hospital.

Lots of people have asked me what happened. The answer is, I was on a morning walk on a nearby street. A large truck passed by and kicked up a rock with it's tire and the rock hit me in the temple bone. It shattered my orbital bone and this was the result. This was a good six month recovery. My vision was distorted for at least that long. I have regained a lot of vision, although not very good at reading wit the eye, I can see at least and the eye is in my head and looks normal:)

@jlasse02 What a freak accident :L

[stubbenmonkey]

how unluvky but on the plus side you could pretend to be a terminator

@jlasse02 It's basically mocking the speaking ability of Helen Kellar and saying that her speech was so bad that she was unable to say the name that she picked for her own dog, and that this was so terrible that the dog became embarassed and chose to run away. "You'd run away too if your name was Nyeeph."

[fantabulousK]

@jlasse02 LOL ok well the first one is a joke about Helen Kellar. Helen Kellar is famous because she was born blind, and lost her hearing at like two years old. So this woman had to come and teach her sign language. Big whoop there are a few cases like that, but what makes Helen special is she went one step further and learned to actually speak words by feeling people's lips. Problem is her speech doesn't sound like normal people speech, its very hard to understand like Marlee Matlin x100.

@fantabulousK Okay I don't get the first one? Yes I am fine, and thankful for that. I just seriously thought you were her coming back to stir the pot somemore, it's just like something she would do. So sorry. You just have no idea what that horrid woman put me through. The other two jokes...lol

[fantabulousK]

@jlasse02 Dude, it sucks but you're fine. And there are hundreds of jokes that are much worse that I have laughed at because they're so funny you just can't help it. Like

Q: Why did Helen Kellar's dog run away?

A: You'd run away too if your name was "Nyeeph".

or

Q: What is Michael Jackson getting for Christmas?

A: Montel Williams.

or

Q: What does 80 year old cooch taste like?

A: Depends.

@jlasse02 When that "friend" attacked me, just to be a rude bitch, she said something very similar to what you posted. Naturally - since said ex friend seems to pop up here and there every now and then to taunt me, I thought it was just her again, stalking me. Sound dramatic? Tell me about it. Imagine how I feel. So excuse me for being very assertive about your remarks, however, abuse is no laughing matter so I didn't take it as a joke when you said that. I viewed it as someone insulting

[jlasse02]

@jlasse02 Nobody knows what happened. I was by myself and I hit the ground when it happened, although I never went unconcious. I actually walked home, not knowing how bad it was. It took about 15-20 minutes before I KNEW somethign was wrong, basically I felt pressure building in my head and it just kept getting stronger. It turned out to be a hemmorage. I had two hemmorages. One in my head, and one in my eye. It was all very painful and pretty truamatic in the end.
