I got woke up at 7 am to Cory calling me crying in agony because he had something wrong with his eyes and couldnt see! Insert twilight music from a week ago. He was pitiful. I could relate. Mandy wouldnt even get up to either help him get the phone, call me, or even drive him to my house or the hospital. (I wont say what I think about that)
I flew out of bed and got him and we went to the local hospital. He has been working lately with his dad doing some sheetrock stuff and yes he wears protective eye glasses but when he cuts studs, crud can fly around in the wind. So off we go. They got us back right away. ER was vacant. doctor was great. They numbed him up and immediately saw that he had metal in his eye. Several scratches and several tiny pieces of metal were imbedded in his eye. The local ER took a needle and got some of it out but they couldnt get it all out so they attempted to call some local eye doctors to get him seen either today or tomorrow but no one would be open so they called DUKE Medical in Durham and had him transferred there by ambulance! Boy we werent expecting that. LOL.
Cory called Mandy to tell her what was going on and she accused him of lying to her! I had to get on the phone and tell her it was the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Then she got mad at him for ruining her Thanksgiving! Ummm...I think it was Cory's that was ruined. She got to go over to her family's and eat! He got to go get his eye surgically drilled.
While Cory was sent on his way, I came home and ate some dinner, made Cory a plate and got Billy to ride up to DUKE. Its about a 2 hour ride and I didnt want to drive it alone. I knew Cory was gonna want something to eat once he got through all the awfulness...and it was awful. he was truly pitiful...lol. But funny too. They attached leads...and he tore them off and it was like a wax job...lmao. He has these square patches on him! He has this way of making the nurses and doctors laugh...especially the female ones.
Finally...everything is over with now. He should be okay. That is one ugly procedure. Needles, drill, ick. My baby is safe in my living room. He told Mandy I said he couldnt go home tonight. LOL
