mrsswordfisherman Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGG As a nurse I know that if you presented at Cas in that state the staff would have been freaking out. You must go and buy a lottery ticket mate, you are seriously blessed. Thank you for sharing this with us as a reminder to be so very careful. mrssordfisherman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

livo Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 That's nasty. I've seen people hooked up before and as a boy, I once got a small long shank in the cheek which my grandfather removed by cutting and pushing through with pliers, but I've never seen anything like that. How did your brother feel when he saw you with his treble in your scone? Hard to say your lucky when that's happened to you but in view of what could have been I guess you are. Well done for pulling through that one and good to see you could still raise a smile for the camera. Did they take pics at the hospital? Your photo should be used in ER training!

Dalucius Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 OMG I can hardly type because tears are running down my cheeks. I hate anything to do with the eyes. I can't wear mascara because tears appear while I'm putting it on. You are so lucky not to have any permanent damage. Might be time to wear safety glasses when fishing with your brother. Glad you're ok. Keep smiling. How's your brother feeling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaybee Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 You're the luckest bloke to come out of that one all right old mate. Mybe (now that we know you're ok) its a new one for tag and release. Hope you have a speedy recovery. Regards Jeff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mondo Rock Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 Mate - I'm glad to hear that you're OK. There are many places a hook can get stuck in your body - all of them painful - but only the eye has the potential to disable you for the rest of your life. Its one of the reasons that every guide I have ever used wears sunnies while guiding. It all ended OK for you, with some pretty good pictures too, so I guess it's not worth dwelling on what might have been. Just very glad you're not too badly injured.

Flattieman Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 Mate - I'm glad to hear that you're OK.

I've been hooked in the mouth, but I can only imagine what it was like to cop a lure in the eye. That's what I'm most afraid of - of all places on the body, the eye would have to rate as one of the most frightening. I'm so glad that you came out of it alright - sounds like you found a great eye surgeon. I'm glad I wear glasses. Flattieman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
