It was like viewing the world through a round fish bowl full of glycerol into which a quart of blood and a handful of black pepper have been partially mixed. There was local pain within a few minutes of the accident, but it did not become excruciating. The most immediate response after such an accident is horror. As a Vietnam War Veteran, I have seen terrible scenes of human carnage, but none affected me more than viewing the world through my blood filled eyeball. In the aftermath of the accident I went into shock, . . .
Good vision is priceless.
