OMG this was pretty serious and I cannot imagine how painful it must have been for her. I'm so glad she feels better now.
I don't take eye complications lightly. When I was really young, I was peeking through a gate watching some kids play football. Suddenly, someone from the other side threw sand particles into my eyes. The pain was inexplicable and I didn't think I'd be able to see anymore.
Somehow, I was able to wash it off and since then, i don't even try it anymore.
Thank God she's fine. I hope she doesn't hate matchsticks now.
Oh gosh! What a hurtful experience for you love! Sand in the eye is excruciatingly painful too. She is actually ok with matchsticks...just learnt not to bend close to the cooker. Thanks so much Pan
