ADHD gets whacked in the eye

Helmet and safety glasses safely stowed in the shed

This little injury has been with me on numerous occasions over the course of my life.
Ever since I was born with this head I've been concussing it; not intentionally, or at least not cognizantly, but all the same I have always been hitting my skull against something ... literally and figuratively.



This latest is courtesy of a shovel handle, and is done thusly:
  • Be willing to impede shovel handles with your eye.
  • Embed shovel head in a stiff spring snow berm.
  • Pry with shovel in attempt to break up the berm.
  • Really reef on handle creating spring-like tension.
  • Lose grip on handle cuz gloves are wet.
  • Take shovel handle just below right brow.
  • Remind yourself you went into this willing to impede shovel handle with eye.
Three days after I did this, I reenacted the familiar physics responsible for swinging rakes into clowns faces when I took a chunk of lumber to my left eye.
