injury enquiry?
 

is it serious when the colour of your eye bleeds? just that my sis (mel 3ft) has had an object thrown at her eye and its bleeding inside the colored area shes at hospital now but me and me mum are very worried? help ???:(

It sure doesn't sound good to me!!!

I think you need to prepare to make her feel comfortable when she comes home...
You could make her an Alan Shearer tea for example:)

how do you know bout alan shearer teas? youve worried me even more now why doesnt it sound good to you?

Re: injury enquiry?
 

Eyes are really not my area of expertise but it sounds like the object thrown has scratched her Iris. They may irrigate the affected eye and have a good look at it. She may get away with having to wear a patch for a week or so if the scratch is superficial, she may also need antibiotics. I really wouldn't know what they will do if it is serious, as all the eye injuries that I came across on A+E were fairly superficial, (and I'm going back to 1990 here, the memory is a bit hazy). I'll keep my fingers crossed for her.

thank you :)

Hi Ya Boo.....I do hope 3fts OK. I don't think any of the nurses are on here at the moment but I think they would confirm that without a clinical examination we could only speculate. You will have to wait until she returns from hospital.

Can you tell us how this happened?

Re: injury enquiry?
 

Ooops...sorry Lettie, I did'nt see you earlier.

Re: injury enquiry?
 

yeah sure she was talking to her friends and this stupid boy threw a plant seed at her, they look like tomatoes but come of a bush and when they flower they are quite big flowers are they poisonous too? Apparantley when i was little i got told not to touch them as they are poisonous. I went out to find the culprit and confront him and he admitted t doing it and apologised but me and my mum are really fretting. Weve never seen an injury like it its awful.

Re: injury enquiry?
 

Hehehe, no problem. Eyes are not my thing anyway. Used to dread eye injuries coming into A+E, as I am so squeamish about them. Give me blood and guts anyday, but not eyes...:eek:

Re: injury enquiry?
 

Hope She's OK baby boo

Re: injury enquiry?
 

I’m sure she will be fine Boo…………………:)

Re: injury enquiry?

Re: injury enquiry?

Re: injury enquiry?
 

Most of the eye stuff in East Lancs is now done at Burnley General, try not to worry...

Re: injury enquiry?
 

My little un went to burnley for the two ops she's had on her eye and she was fine... don't worry too much Mary..... oops Boo
