Back out in the garden I was trying to pull up a root when a branch flew up and whacked me in the eye.
How are you supposed to run water over an eye? I bathed my eye using a measuring cup in the absence of an eye bath. It's still blurry too so if it's like this tomorrow I will have to go to A&E, again according to the NHS website.
Let's hope it's better by then. I'm already a bit snuffly and you know how quick I am to wallow in my own misery.

Last night I started reading The Twits to the grandchildren in Italy. I'd searched in the library for a copy but I should have looked at home first. I found most of the old Dahls from my children's days.

I hope your eye reverts to normal quickly! How unfortunate to have that gardening accident.
I was punched in the eye by a lavender twig last year, gosh that hurts. It goes on and on. I did all the bathing, artificial teardrops all that. It calmed down after a day or two. But that eyelid still gets scratchy sometimes. I hope yours is nothing more.
Future colours may be interesting.
You might also want to try ice to keep some of the bruising away.
Ouch! What did you ever do to that branch?
When I see these types of injuries, I'm glad I wear glasses.
It looks like it hurts a lot. Hope it’s okay now!
Lovely black eye today, I expect. I hope it feels a little better today - well, a lot better, but that takes more than 24 hours.
Ouch. That had to have hurt. Hope it's better today.
It was a very vicious honeysuckle branch!
And Husband said the same as you, Abby, "That's why I'm glad I wear glasses."
Yikes! So sorry.
