Lets just say my day started off pretty good. Decent day at work. Got to relax a little, and a good friend of mine came home from vacation a day early, so we decide to do something. With little to do on a Sunday night, we decide to see a movie, but it was just minutes after every movie started and we had to wait till 10pm before any decent movie to start up.
To kill the time, we went to a nearby driving range. Neither of us are any good, but we could get a few nice shots off so we each got a bunch of balls to hit. It was dead, and the only people there was my friend and I, and the two workers who looked very bored. Now at this place they short little metal barriers that seperate each golfers shot, right, and only on a really bad slice would you hit them, but usually they'd bounce off in a weird direction.
Well lets just say I saw where this one went. I sliced it, hit the metal, and I saw it as it approached my right eye. Saw it all the way. I'm not to sure, but I think I was able to close my eye in time.
So now I'm on the floor, covering my face with my hand when my friend is like "are you okay", and I'm like "fuck no" but in a really weak voice.
He didn't see what happened, so he just goes to the guy "yeah my friend is hurt, got any ice"
"Where is he?" (I assume my friend points as I was on the ground)
"Is he knocked out?!?"
Hearing this, I decide to try and get up. I was able to, but at this time I feel something weird. My hand feels very wet. I think "I'm not crying THAT much am I?" and the guy says "holy shit your bleeding mad". I look at my hand (with the eye I could see out of), it was covered.
To make a long story short (also because the longer I type this, the longer I don't have the icepack on my eye), I get in a cab and tell them the story, get to the hospital (and to their credit only took an hour and change to fix me up) and I got 3 stiches on my eyebrow and a golfball! And a free bucket of balls when I go there again.
Oh and some memories!
I'll post pics tomorrow, because the doctor told me my eye will bruise and close up. See the miracle of bruising!!!
