busted my eye....why you should always wear eye protection

I learned my lesson while working on a job site and ended up with a few shards of wood in my eye. Took about 45 minutes of flushing it at the ER to finaly get it all out. Dr said it would have been better if it was metal because they could have used a magnet. Eye injuries are the worst! I cant even watch my daughter put her contacts in after what I went through.
