I spent much of today running a family member around from clinic to clinic, trying to get some medical help for that person.
It wasn't life threatening, but it was painful, and debilitating. We were lucky in that we were able to find a specialist that was able to fix the problem and who was able to take in the family member on extremely short notice. This doctor had to stay an extra 30 minutes past the time the clinic closed, but got it done and prevented our XMas from being ruined by a family member suffering pain thru to the weekend. Also, had the situation gone on longer, more harm would have been done, possibly to the point of permanent, even disabling harm.
We are not sure how the injury happened, but suffice it to say that we all need to be careful and wear protective gear even when doing seemingly simple tasks. Something as simple as a speck in the eye can take a person out of commission and cause them a LOT of pain - that probably won't go away any time soon until the cause is removed.
If this had been SHTF we probably would still be dealing with the situation.
