Anyway, I will be wearing safety glasses a LOT more from now on! Thing it I normally have my work glasses on but that day I did not for some reason. Anyway, I will keep you all up to date as we get updates.

Holy ****! That is serious! Wow Chris, I really hope your vision will be ok.

After working in the cabinet making industry just about my whole life, I have learned the hard way to wear the right gear. It never fails, the one time you don't something painfull happens.
Take care of that eye and please keep us posted on how you're doing.

If there is anything I can do to help just let me know.

Sorry about the injury. I can only imagine how bad that hurt.
Good luck and I will keep you in my prayers for a full/speedy recovery.

Thanks for all the well wishes and prayers guys, it really helps. The wife and I have been overwhelmed with the love and support we have received since the Saturday and you guys are no small part of that.

Thanks again,

Chris

Chris I just read what happened to your eye. Best of luck with the test, I hope it goes well for you.

So far so good on the tests. We are not "out of the woods" yet but we have made great progress so far. The docs are all pleased with the progress and I can even use my left eye today. The weekend was rough but we made it through.

Stay tuned.

Dang, Chris! a keyhole saw to the eye! Man, that just makes me weak in the knees!

Best wishes for a quick recovery...and thank you for the reminder to always wear safety glasses!
