Well my sis has anger managment issues and we were in the pool when she got mad and grabbed the net and hit me pretty hard with the hard metal end of the handle about 1/2 inch above my left eye. My eye is swollen as well as from my left eyebrow up to about 1/2 inch below my hairline. I was pretty lucky as the nurses/ER doctors said that if she had hit me in the eye that hard I most likely would have been blinded.
