3 years ago while sparring, someone pulled off an illegal move on me....EYE GOUGE
Split the white of my eye 1mm from my cornea........but strangely only stung a little and I didn't realise the severity til the ref's face went pale and stopped the fight saying "I THINK YOUR EYE's F'd!"
Off to A&E and was told very lucky I could still see but needed microsurgery later to stitch it up.
"ASLEEP" I said........."DON'T BE SILLY, YOU'RE A GROWN MAN, I'M SURE YOU CAN STAY STILL ENOUGH TO LET THEM DO IT AWAKE" said doc
Luckily all is well now but at the eye clinic I saw a big burly man go into the consulting room with bandages on his eyes and come out sobbing with his head in his hands
Now I even wear goggles using the strimmer in the garden.
Call me a woos but better safe than sorry
