I’ve Got My Eye on You
Ever wonder what would happen if you were just standing there, minding your own business, when suddenly a chisel comes flying out of nowhere at a very rapid velocity and comes to a sudden stop in your eye?
No?
Me neither.
Yet, thanks to my very dear, oldest and bestest friend in the world, the man I promised to marry if we were both single by the age of thirty, a man I now consider to be my brother and who happens to be my husband’s bestest friend in the whole world, I now know.
It’s not very pretty.
Think squished grapes.
I’m going to be offline for a few days, holding a certain Cowboy Bean’s hand, and making sure his wife eats until we know the status of his vision. Any well wishes or prayers you might want to send in our direction would certainly be appreciated.
Meanwhile, it’s not all bad. Did I mention his attending physician is unbelievably good-looking? It’s always nice to have a good piece of eye candy to drool over while stuck in a hospital and trying not to relive disturbing memories of your son’s life while praying for a miracle.
Be back soon. Unless of course the good-looking physician decides to kidnap me and take me to a deserted island.
Then you are on your own.

Have you in my thoughts already. Gotz me some room for your bestie bloke.
And good looking doctors always make the time go faster. Perhaps not for your friend though. Drag his wife in there for a ogle, while she is there feed her something.
February 14th, 2008 at 12:01 am
But wait! what were the results?
February 14th, 2008 at 12:15 am
You’re in my thoughts.
February 14th, 2008 at 4:07 am
what is it with doctor’s these days, there should be a rule to stop good looking men from becoming doctors… every single doctor i’ve been to the last 5 years, ok except my gyni was absolutely freekin beautiful *sigh*
good luck!!
February 14th, 2008 at 5:53 am
I’ll have a good thought for you and your friend.
February 14th, 2008 at 6:26 am
Ack, poor guy.
That happened to my husband’s uncle… and he did lose his eye but now he has a really great fake one that he likes to take out at family gatherings. So it all worked out.
February 14th, 2008 at 7:15 am
Don’t know how/where i found your site, but i read you each and every day.. and until we hear, just know that i’ll be praying for your friend, too.. please keep us updated when you can.
February 14th, 2008 at 7:30 am
WOW. I’ll be praying for your Cowboy, his wife, your odds with Hot-Doc, et. al.
February 14th, 2008 at 7:41 am
Sending good thoughts his way!
February 14th, 2008 at 7:57 am
OH God! I hope he is okay!!!
That sucks!
Have you ever seen John From Cincinnati?
“I got my eye on you”
“No, I got my eye on YOU!”
February 14th, 2008 at 8:37 am
Oh, dear! Wishing for good outcomes!
February 14th, 2008 at 9:12 am
How horrifying! I’m sorry you are having to go through this and it’s reminding you of Bug’s time in the hospital.
I will pray for a full recovery and I’ll listen for news of a certain gorgeous canadian being kidnapped in the near future!!
February 14th, 2008 at 9:23 am
I have such a thing about stuff in eyes that I very nearly threw up when I got that visual. That said, tell him to hang in there and feel better soon. Poor guy.
February 14th, 2008 at 10:04 am
Oh my goodness! I’ll be keeping you all in my thoughts and wishing for your friend’s smooth recovery.
February 14th, 2008 at 10:15 am
Sending good wishes & hopes for recovery on the vision.
February 14th, 2008 at 10:31 am
Ouch! Mental image hurts….keep us posted, sending well wishes with you, and are you sure it won’t be you kidnapping the doctor?
February 14th, 2008 at 10:46 am
Oh my God! That’s awful. I hope he gets his sight back - at least you have some eye-candy to entertain you while you keep him company.
February 14th, 2008 at 10:47 am
ew, ouch. Super ouch. Best wishes for the best possible outcome for your friend, and peace in thought and spirit for you.
February 14th, 2008 at 10:56 am
Sending good karma cowboy’s way.
February 14th, 2008 at 11:48 am
That really sucks, my thoughts are with you guys.
February 14th, 2008 at 12:25 pm
Whoa - sending unpainful, healing, clear-vision thoughts from I to the eye.
February 14th, 2008 at 1:12 pm
Oooh! Wishing your friend well T, and a speedy successful recovery.
… and good luck with that deserted island thing
February 14th, 2008 at 1:28 pm
Thinking of your friend and her husband. And you too, but that goes without saying.
February 14th, 2008 at 1:30 pm
Oh wow. Lots of good vibes to your friend for a speedy recovery. Or any recovery for that matter.
February 14th, 2008 at 1:40 pm
Oh CRAP! I hope he will be ok and doesn’t lose sight in that eye. Man, my head was hurting already, but now I’m having sympathy eye pain!!
February 14th, 2008 at 1:47 pm
This is going to sound really really selfish~ but I hope everything turns out ok SOON and the doc doesn’t kidnap you.
Couldn’t help myself.
February 14th, 2008 at 1:48 pm
Sending good thoughts your way.
February 14th, 2008 at 2:01 pm
I hope it’s just a hot doctor and not any hot nurses. That would just add insult to injury if there was a hot nurse walking around that your compromised friend couldn’t ogle to the fullest. Best wishes to him for a complete and speedy recovery.
February 14th, 2008 at 2:31 pm
Sending good thoughts your way.
February 14th, 2008 at 3:40 pm
OH NO! I got a small stick in my eye once while preparing the outside of our house for a hurricane, not as big around as a pencil, and it was HORRIBLE! A chisel? I can’t even imagine. And mad props to you for being okay at the hospital–that’s no small thing. Hoping the best for your poor friend, and where the fark did the chisel come from? Tacky, er, I mean Inquiring Minds want to know
February 14th, 2008 at 3:43 pm
Damn!!!! That’s scary. I hope he’s okay.
February 14th, 2008 at 4:06 pm
Besides all of the truly sincere hopes that your best friend is not blind, I have to say that one of my most favoritest favorite things about you is your ability to have and amazing sense of humor in all situations.
(Because it is truly my favorite way to cope)
February 14th, 2008 at 4:31 pm
Holy smokes that can’t be fun! Wishing him all the best!
February 14th, 2008 at 4:55 pm
I will definitely be sending well wishes. He and his entire family will be in my thoughts!
February 14th, 2008 at 5:30 pm
Oh that is fucking awful!
I hope he is ok soon
February 14th, 2008 at 6:12 pm
I definitely have room for your friend in my prayers. For you, too. I know how hard hospitals are for you.
February 14th, 2008 at 6:23 pm
Um…ow, and wow. Squished grape…now that was a telling description. Wishing your friend a speedy recovery.
February 14th, 2008 at 6:32 pm
WOW…that sounds really scary! Ouchies to say the least!
As for the doc…oh how I miss you Dr. Sewell…mmm…man candy…
February 14th, 2008 at 7:08 pm
De-lurking to send well wishes and prayers to your friend and his family.
Peace and prayers for you as well.
February 14th, 2008 at 8:25 pm
Holy crap! I hope he’s going to be ok! Lots of thoughts and good vibes coming that way
February 14th, 2008 at 8:45 pm
Eyes give me the willies. I can do poop, pee, vomit and mucous, as well as open wounds that are almost down to the bone, but eyeballs. Yuck!
Hope he’s better soon and hope he keeps his sight.
Don’t forget to wear you low cut shirt. Just saying.
February 14th, 2008 at 8:59 pm
You and your friends are in my prayers and I am a firm believer in miracles. Just remember to take care of you so you can take care of them.
February 14th, 2008 at 10:14 pm
How awful. Made me cringe trying to imagine it.
You, he and his family are in my thoughts.
(Don’t distract the doctor!)
February 15th, 2008 at 1:53 am
Ack! I’ve spent some time in the hospital due to eye injuries, and they are never fun. (not me, flying glass sent boyfriend #2 to the emergency, and then he managed to injure the same eye, again!)
Also, shame on you! If there is hot doctor, you must send him my way, can’t let you marrieds have him!
Am sending good thoughts to the cowboy by way of you, make sure he gets them, k?
February 15th, 2008 at 9:01 am
Oh, serious ouchness. I shudder to think about it. I’m off to not think about it anymore.
February 15th, 2008 at 10:28 am
Prayers and well-wishes?
Done.
As for good looking doctors… my new dentist is kind of cute… but there is no way to flirt while she is using sharp dental tools in my mourth.
February 15th, 2008 at 12:02 pm
Wow! That is terrible. Here are some wishes your way for a speedy recovery!!
February 15th, 2008 at 1:21 pm
Having gone through four eye surgeries this past summer, albeit none so serious as this, all my good wishes are with your friend. And maybe you could sneak a quick pic of the hot doc for us?
February 15th, 2008 at 1:42 pm
Ew, eye jelly. I think there’s a name for it. Vitreous humor, I think? I’m not sure what’s humorous about it. Except that I did giggle at this post so maybe it’s aptly named after all.
Big hugs to your friend’s eye jelly.
February 15th, 2008 at 1:51 pm
Oh My Gosh! So scary. We are sending good thought and prayers for you. I hope he is ok!
February 15th, 2008 at 8:47 pm
Oh, that is so disturbing! Break my leg, saw off my arm, but leave the eyes alone. I hope he’s OK.
February 15th, 2008 at 9:54 pm
WOW! yikes, this is why I am not a medical profession other than a good bandade wrapper arounder. ha. Anwyay - found your blog through rockstarmommy. LOVE IT.
February 16th, 2008 at 8:21 am
Would you say the doc has chiseled good looks??
Sorry, I couldn’t help it.
I will seriously say prayers for your friend and his family. I hope this has a happy ending.
February 16th, 2008 at 12:51 pm
Yeah, I was going to go with the “chiseled features” but MammaLoves beat me to it…
Hope all turns out well. Accidents suck.
February 16th, 2008 at 1:37 pm
Yeah, no one wakes up in the morning and prepares for shit like THAT.
Prayers heading his way.
February 16th, 2008 at 4:13 pm
Sending hope and wishes toward the family.
February 16th, 2008 at 4:49 pm
Thinking of you and your friends. I can’t imagine it’s easy at all for you to be in that hospital.
February 16th, 2008 at 8:28 pm
totally throwing up in my mouth.
how is he doing now?
February 17th, 2008 at 4:19 pm
So sorry…sending thoughts and prayers your way.
February 17th, 2008 at 5:24 pm
Oh, Mah Holy Hell. And Yikes. Give them a kiss from me (hope they don’t think they have a weird internet stalker…).
February 17th, 2008 at 5:58 pm
Well if it’s not one thing it’s a chisel.
xoxo to you, your friend and the hottie doctor.
February 17th, 2008 at 8:49 pm
The hell? A chisel in his eye? Whose chisel? How? OMG!
God, it makes my toes curl. I can’t even imagine…
I’m so sorry. I hope there’s no permanent damage.
February 18th, 2008 at 12:57 am
Ho! Ly! Hell!
Damn.
That’s like Quentin Tarantino’s dreams!
Positive vibes being sent out for healthy eye! You’re a good woman to hold hands during this.
February 18th, 2008 at 6:27 am
YUCK! I’ll be praying for him!
February 18th, 2008 at 10:42 am
Ouch, will be praying……..and trying not to imagine what that eye looks like.
February 19th, 2008 at 8:16 pm
I hope his eye is ok.
