<div dir="ltr"><div>Hi Ed, Glad you survived and I'm glad you didn't miss that tuning, been there.</div>
<div>I wasn't bleeding, I had burdock lodged in my cornea which the walk-in Doc mistook for an infection 5 days later I can hardly open that eye and have a concert tuning that afternoon!</div>
<div>My wife got me in to see my eye guy who removed the burdock and put me on the right eyedrops, I went home a slept for 2 hours, got up, dressed and drove 40 miles ain a snow storm to do that tuning, under flourescent lights wearing dark sunglasses(my eye was still partially dilated. </div>
