bad luck strikes again

Brad was working on his "new" car Sunday night and was drilling metal when a piece flew in his eye. I was woken up with him hysterically yelling he couldn't see. His eye was bleeding which made it hard for me to see anything. I took him to Waukesha where my insurance is through and he had xrays showing a piece of metal in the back of his eye that had lacerated his cornea and caused a cataract. He had surgery at the Eye Institute today to repair the laceration, remove the lens and blood and metal. The metal hit his macula which isn't ideal but not worst case scenario since the retina was ok so far. He will have at least 2 more surgeries in the next couple of months and we won't know the status of his vision for 5-6 weeks which is the length of the first healing period. We just know that it will never be "normal." We see the surgeon again tomorrow to get the patch off and eye gtts start. We are thankful that it wasn't worse and just have to now wait patiently for the best possible outcome.
