I Should've Kept My Mouth Shut!!

It isn't your fault that this happened. Neither you nor your husband could have predicted this. It just happened that you commented on his protective eye wear just before he got some saw dust in his eyes. It's co-incidental. You shouldn't be too hard on yourself. You aren't to blame.

I don't think what you said had anything to do with your husband getting hurt..In fact if he didn't have them on, you never know, it could have been worse. My niece recently got scratched by her dog and the eye heals very quickly, but he may still want to see a doctor for it, just in case..

Stranger things have happened. It's just the way life is sometimes. I don't think that it is your fault at all. My eyes are very sensitive. When I get dirt in them and don't see anything, I will put cold water on a washcloth and lay down and gently squeeze the water into my eyes. It always relieves discomfort.

Oh I hate when that sort of thing happens... bad karma or jinxing indeed! It's more likely just a fluke, but still.. it doesn't feel that way, does it? If your hubby's eye is still so sore after flushing it out and such, then yes, there is likely a scratch on the surface. Those are so annoying... like a stuck hair that you can't find. Hopefully he'll feel better within a day or two.

Oh, I honestly believe in karma, and that there had nothing to do with it lol. Unless you like just killed someone or did something really dumb, that would make you feel like karma came into play, just remember that it isn't your fault.

Things happen, a freak accident! Nothing to do with Karma, just something that went down. Hopefully he's ok, how's his eye now? Maybe next time, he'll use the full eye mask! Taripre$

Gee whiz, my son would say I junx him when I say things or warn him about something. I think its more like ESP and common sense. It is good that he was wearing something for his eyes, it would have been much worse. You might have to take him in and get his eye checked out. The eye does heal very quickly, but it is also very painful when you scratch the eyeball. If the eye is scratched they can give him some antibiotic eye drops to keep the eye from becoming infected. That sunshine really needs to come your way and soon.

Wow, it sounds like he did scratch it. If it really is bothering him, you will probably have to call the eye doctor and have them check it. They will probably give him eye drops to help with the pain and swelling. Hopefully it will be better in the morning.

Sometimes things just happen.Was it bad karma? i don't think so. Perhaps your mentioning how you were glad that your husband was wearing protective eye gear made him, in turn, more aware. Perhaps he tilted his head up to see down under the glasses. The wind was blowing an wham! The sawdust hit his eyes. I have worked in an industrial setting, where protective gear was mandatory. i would be working hard and fast as required and I would feel debris hit my face, close to my eyes. Even my protective glasses. i would think "Gee, I am glad I am wearing my protective glasses". Next thing you know, I have to stop the line and call for help because I got something in my eye!! After a thorough saline wash, my eyes sometimes felt better but were times they still itches. Best thing is to not rub the eye, even if you get everything out. It can be very irritating. Sometimes, too much fuss can make it worse. Irritating the eyes itself. Simply flush the eye. Use a garden hose on a gently trickle and wash it out. Unless you have an emergency saline eye wash bottle designed for the purpose of washing out the eyes. Then just let the natural fluid surrounding the yes do it's thing. A simple eye patch over the eye helps. Keep the eye closed for several hours or even overnight and it will feel much better the next day. Do not rub the eye. If it is still irritated, it is best to see the doctor as your husband may have obtained a deep scratch. The doctor will simply give you an eye patch. The eye will heal itself. I don't think that you jinxed your husband.

It's not karma. It just happened. And I am sure it has happened to me enough. You may need to take him to the doctor to be safe. I hope he is ok. Look at it this way. He was wearing the eye gear. May have been worse if he hadn't been. Hope he is better soon.

Neither you nor your husband knew that the wind was going to be gusty enough for the saw dust to get into his eye. It is just a coincidence that it happened after you commented on his eye wear. I wouldn't take this to heart too much. Had you not say anything, it probably still would have happened. You did not have any control of the wind. don't let it bother you, let's just hope that his eye is okay.

Hey catsanddogs! You need to take him to the hospital ER! He might have scratched his cornea! That happened to me when something blew in my eye! It hurt and it kept bothering me! You really can't play around with an eye! He should be looked at and have it checked before it gets worse and could leave damage that can't be repaired. I'm not trying to scare you, just trying to warn you to have him get it checked out because I had it happen to me! The will be able to see how badly it is scratched and give him medicine for it. Please make sure he goes to the doctor or ER.

I am sorry that happen to him. Do you think it is bad enough for him to seek medical help? You sure have been working hubby real hard this weekend. Are you going to reward him for his hard work?

It was just the wind. Things like this happen to me too. It is done, but I hope your husbands eye is ok. It sounds as if he has got a scratch on it. In cases of minor irritation, such as one resulting from a piece of dust flying into your eye, you may be able to wash out the foreign object from your eye with clean tap water. As you have already done this: You can buy artificial tears or lubricants that may improve the discomfort in your husbands eye. Over-the-counter pain medicine, such as acetaminophen (Tylenol), may be helpful. If one dose of such medication does not bring relief, consult your ophthalmologist. After your eye examination, you should rest with your eyes closed to help the healing process. This means no reading. You should also not drive until your ophthalmologist says it is safe for you to do so, because driving with impaired vision poses a danger to yourself and others. Instead, have someone drive you to your appointment with the ophthalmologist. Do not worry though to much about the Jinx thing. I know you blame yourself too, but I think we always do that when someone gets hurt, we look for ways that it could of been avoided, but it happens and there is nothing you could of done. 'I am trying to make you feel better'.

Oh my goodness Cat! It's just one thing after another at your house! But it's not your fault....blame it on mother nature and her gusty breaths. I know the timing was really bad, but it's still not your fault. I hope hubby's eye is feeling a bit better.

I am sure it is just a coincidence, but I could swear sometimes that my mom has jinxing power. She has this gift of thinking of the worse happening in situations, and when she does that and makes a comment it seems that something bad always happens in that situation. It is very scary actually. I always hate it when I tell her we are going to do something, and she will start by saying, "You better be careful, what if......" The I tell her thanks a lot for jinxing me.
