Burnt
So I work as an Historical Interpreter for the city as most know...
A week or so ago I was burned by the open fire that I work over - I have been doing this job for about 4 years now and every day I encounter a fire. A freak accident happened: a piece of hot ask flew up into my left eye. I burned my eye.
Ya. Burned my eye. Seriously. What luck. What joy. But i was lucky in a way: it didn't get my eye ball but the muscle around the eye.
So now I had this red ball of burn in my eye. I had to skip out of work for a hospital visit. They were freaked by it (thanks nurse that screamed....)
"Now just lean back so I can try and find it..."
"Oh you will - its this bulbus-"
"AH!"
"Yep, see. Told you you would find it."
*sigh
I can see fine. I actually have better eye sight in the burnt eye than the right! But I digress...
I finally had my follow up with the hospital specialist the other day. A terrible awful no good day complete with having to bring all my puppet gear to the hospital because I was stupid enough to think that I could make a 11:30 am meet up at Finch for puppet show after my appointment... *sigh. Then the bus wasn't running south due to construction so I walked with my gear to the hospital thus making me late for said appointment... Then when I got there I spilled all my tea over the waiting room floor.
But this tea was almond tea. And since we have the fear of god in us when we bring "allergic goods" into a public space I thought it wise to tell the nurse station that I spilled ALMOND tea all over the floor.
"Do you need to tell someone or should I clean it up with soap and water? You know since there could be anaphalactic people here? You know being a hospital?" I say...
The response from the best nurse ever:
"Oh dearie, if they go to lick it up don't you think they deserve it?"
:O
Amazing. I need to write that into a show someday. That a nurse said that makes my heart happy.
Long story short my burn burst and I cried blood (Anne Rice eat your vampire heart out!) and now its closer to being fine. But please don't be the kid that told me I have something in my eye - I know. Its my eye. I can feel it idiot. But I did like telling him and the group of pre-teens that it was a burned eye. Shut them up real good :)
