Ask PoopReport: Need Urgent Help With My (Glass) Eye

Posted 06.10.2008 by martin (10)
Dear Motherload,

I need a reply as soon as possible. I am a seventy-seven-year-old veteran. I lost my right eye in Korea in 1952 from a mortar injury. I was twenty-one. I was fitted with a glass eye and have made do ever since. In the past fifty-five years, I have lost my prosthesis twice, and each time I have listened to my wife ride me for it.

Well, I've lost my eye again.

Actually, I swallowed it.

Every once in a while, something irritates the socket, so I remove the eye and put it in my mouth to wash any foreign objects or dust away. This is something I've done all my life and it's never bothered me. This past Saturday I had come down with a cold and coughed, and out it popped on to the floor. Being annoyed and in a hurry to do something else, I quickly picked it up and put it in my mouth to rinse it off -- when, to my misfortune, another coughing fit occurred. Then I swallowed it.

It wouldn't come back up when I tried to vomit. There is no way I can go to a doctor about this, because our grandson was visiting the last time this happened, and my wife is still convinced he stole it off my night stand while visiting. If I fess up now, I'm going to look like a fool for not correcting her.

For the past two days I've told her the eye was bothering me and that I had decided to leave it out. Sometimes this happens, so she's not suspicious -- but I'm running out of time. It's not showing up in my bowel movements. For the love of God, what can I do to pass my eye without having a medical procedure or scan of some kind? And why hasn't it come out?

The reason I ask is that I'd rather collect my old one than shell out the money for new one; but I don't recall passing the first two. Do you have any suggestions to help me? The longest I've gone without wearing my eye is five days, so please respond soon. I'm running out of time. I'd have rather not written to your website, but as it is I'm pretty sure no one will see my plight here who knows me.

You seem like a knowledgeable lady, I'm hoping you know something that I can do to retrieve my eye. Thanks in advance.

This is no joke.

Signed, Martin

What a conundrum, if you visit a doctor and he looks up your asshole and sees the eye looking back he will think you have no faith in his abilities as a physician. I would think that the eye would eventually pass in a bowel movement. I suppose you could substitute a marble until you get the eye back. Oh, when you get it back don't stick it in your mouth right away.

Don't worry. Your glass eye will eventually make it to your brown eye. Damned if I would ever use it again after that trip though.

Thunderbox (891) -- 06.10.2008

Time to treat yourself to a new one, martin. Unless you want to be shitting on a newspaper each time and sifting through the mess, possibly for weeks, it`s not worth it.

At least when it eventually drops out, it`ll have given your guts a top class endoscopy.

It`ll also give someone a good laugh (or fright) when it finally gets through all the sewage treatment plants and back into the water system. If you live in a big city it might even pop out of someones faucet.

Logjam (2460) -- 06.10.2008

Let me get this straight. You don’t want to go to the doctor because if you do you fear having to fess up to your wife about letting your grandson take the blame for a previous eye-gone-missing episode? She might "ride you?" Patton would slap you silly. Forget the eye and grow yourself a spine.

Let this be a lesson for everyone-
never stick an eye in your mouth.

prarie doggin (2334) -- 06.10.2008

I smell a limerick contest. (and a stinky eyeball)

sittingpretty (284) -- 06.10.2008

If the eyeball was blue it will be brown now and your eyes won't match. A sure give away as to where your eye has been. Get a new eyeball and spare yourself an e. coli infection of the eyesocket.

Di Uhreea (410) -- 06.10.2008

PD:

There once was an old guy named Martin
Who ate his glass eye like a Spartan
He watched his poor ass
But the eye did not pass
So now he is glassed up & fartin'

shitwit (578) -- 06.10.2008

Martin, I must say this is a pretty stinky situation to be in, but you've been thru worse. Go to the doc and fess up. The roughest part will be owning up to the cause of the missing eye. Once that's over you'll feel a million times better. I would imagine if you do find the eye in your poop you'll have to sterilize it somehow, and your doc could give you advice on that. And if you're concerned about shelling out the dough to cover the cost of a new one, I was under the impression that the VA would cover this type of prosthetic device. Best of luck to you!

I could think of lots of little wise cracks to say here... but I think you've suffered enough.

A limerick contest! Great idea. I'll post it.

Di Uhreea (410) -- 06.10.2008

BUT I JUST WON!

Logjam (2460) -- 06.10.2008

There once was a vet named Martin
who swallowed his glass eye whilst coughin.
So mad at his wife
for leaching his life,
he bent o’er and shot her whilst fartin.

Di Uhreea (410) -- 06.10.2008

Nice one Logjam!
One thing though:
Martin + coughin = No rhymey rhymey.
(I just don't want you to win. Sorry, man.)

Logjam (2460) -- 06.10.2008

Hey Di, I promise if I win to split the prize with you -- you can don the T-shirt and I'll man the whip.

Di Uhreea (410) -- 06.10.2008

Get an XL and we can both wear it.
Deal?

Logjam (2460) -- 06.10.2008

Deal??? Eye now on the prize, I just hung the “gone fishin” sign on my door so I could apply myself to Limerick writing – full time.

prarie doggin (2334) -- 06.10.2008

I'm afraid poor Martin may live to regret his question.

This may end up being the first time in history a turd looks back at someone who is checking out their bowel movement.

Is Motherload going to give an answer? I'm dying to know what she thinks he should do.

Dear Martin,

Try drinking some Visine. That ought to wash that sucker right out of there.

Also, before doing so you might want to take some valium so that you will be more relaxed during the evacuation. I don't want your next question to be concerning broken glass and lASSerations.

Hope you see this through soon and are able to look back on it and laugh.

Thanks for asking Motherload!

Martin, I was wondering....did you ever by any chance used to eat at truck stops in western Kentucky and traumatize small children by taking your eye out and holding it out at them as though it was getting a closer look? Mr Load had that happen to him. Just curious.

Poor Martin. Whose the shlub that suggested the limerick contest?

hmmm...blamed the grandson....I take it you don't have a dog, or reserve the dog for taking fart blame?

The proper order is kiss me, then go smell the other dog or cat's butt. I cannot stress this enough.

I do have a dog, but it's hard to pin one of my blasts on a two pound Yorkie.

The Shit Volcano (3740) -- 06.11.2008

So... You rinse your glass eye with your MOUTH?!? Oh, well. I suppose there could be worse methods.

_______
Well, you don't actually blow on it. That's just an expression.

wonderpance (602) -- 06.11.2008

this question creeps me out on multiple levels.

Martin, if you do manage to pass it and decide to continue using it, please, for the love of god, do NOT put it in your mouth again.

i love poop.

prarie doggin (2334) -- 06.11.2008

Wonder, I'm sure he learned his lesson. He'll probably just lick it clean next time.

Motherload (1058) -- 06.12.2008

Dear Martin,

After doing a bit more research on eye-swallowing, I have come to the conclusion that you are going to have to fess up to your wife and get to a doctor as soon as you can.

It seems that the average glass eye is about 22 mm (about 1 inch) in size. The pyloric sphincter located at the base of the stomach that allows food to pass through into the intestines can not usually pass objects that are larger than 3/4 of an inch.

I have discovered that it is not uncommon for people to have large foreign objects trapped in the stomach due to the inability to pass them into the intestines. Most of the time these things go undetected and cause no harm. However, stomach acid is composed mainly of hydrochloric acid which is commonly used to etch glass. I fear that if left exposed to the acid in the stomach long enough, the glass could thin enough to break into pieces that could seriously injure the inside of the stomach. This would result in a medical emergency.

This is purely speculation on my part, but I would feel much better knowing that an eye that can actually see what is going on in there look into your situation.

Bilgepump (1752) -- 06.12.2008

Yikes! And if I remember rightly, ol' Marty has 3 in there? Don't screw around, Martin, get your butt to the doc!!! EDIT: Ok, so we know Martin has swallowed 1 for sure, and lost 3 total, but we don't know if he swallowed all 3. (Had to go re-read the story)
_______

The proper order is kiss me, then go smell the other dog or cat's butt. I cannot stress this enough.

Hum bunger (107) -- 06.12.2008

Read it again Bilgepump, in the next to the last paragraph Martin writes: "The reason I ask is that I'd rather collect my old one than shell out the money for new one; but I don't recall passing the first two."

Martins stomach is playing marbles and the name of the game is keepsies.

Bilgepump (1752) -- 06.12.2008

You're right, Hum, missed that...in any case, Marty, if you're looking for an answer, I'd go with Mom's advice.

The Shit Volcano (3740) -- 06.16.2008

Motherload, your recent comment makes me think of the horrible tale my dad's girlfriend once told me of her days working as an in home nurse. It seems once old man somehow managed to swallow a whole peach pit, which got stuck on the other end. All the poop collected around it until there was this softball-sized thing in his ass. She ended up having to dig it out with her hands and a spoon. Blech!

_______
Well, you don't actually blow on it. That's just an expression.

prarie doggin (2334) -- 06.16.2008

Martin, if it does appear that the eyeball is stuck in the ring, try fitting your ass with a monocle. That way you could do Colonel Klink impersonations at parties.

sittingpretty (284) -- 06.16.2008

I really haven't come across anyone more funny than all y'all. Funny funny funny. Where is Martin anyway? Did Martin go into the hospital to get scoped? Are you out there Martin? Y'all do you think old Martin died from 3 fecal impactions with an eyeball middle. Or the eyeballs are at the end of an oblong mishapen log with fins and a nose like a Marlin. Marlin Martin where are you? We will never find out the eyeballs killed you unless the eyes are found as the cause of death on autopsy and your story makes CNN.

prarie doggin (2334) -- 06.16.2008

Welcome back SP. Everything ok?

ChiefThunderbutt (946) -- 06.17.2008

I am worried about Martin. He has been given stellar advice on his problem but has not answered.

HOW ARE YOU DOING MARTIN!!

Motherlodes mention of the pyloric valve makes me think of the time in Japan I was eating horumon
yaki (grilled hormones), supposed to put lead in the old pencil. Consists of many lesser used internal parts of animals. I picked up what I later learned was a pyloric valve with my chopsticks but misidentified it as an asshole and quite eating. Figured the old pencil had enough lead in it for a good nights work.

prarie doggin (2334) -- 06.17.2008

I could never figure why, in most foreign countries, the most disgusting foods are the ones that are said to help you in the "lead" department. Must be a way of getting people to eat them.

Chief, I think after seeing what he created, Martin might be in shock.

Di Uhreea (410) -- 06.17.2008

He swallowed three eyes? Not to be a dick or anything, but you think he would learn after the first one.

turd turdgutson (110) -- 07.26.2008

Three words. Fleet's...Phospho...Soda. If there is ANYTHING in your digestive tract whatsoever, consuming two full bottles of the stuff will guarantee that anything not bolted down inside your body will transmogrify itself into molten liqui-shit and be blasted into the commode of your choice (or your pants, if you don't make it that far) within minutes. I guarantee you, you'll find that wayward eyeball quick, and without all the pain and grossness associated with having to dissect your grogans every time you take a grunt 'n shove.

Just don't do some dipshit thing like taking the Fleet's and then going out for a night on the town, okay...? You WILL be upset.
