I love my boys but....

So when I vacuum, my boys like to ride on my shoulders. If I don't do this, they scream up a storm. So, after cleaning the aviary I always vacuum as the corn cobs do tend to spill out while I sift/clean it. Since I was sweating, my eyeglasses slipped down my nose a bit. Conor, my gcc, likes to be on my head & when I lean over, he hangs onto my hair & sorta does a Tarzan swinging on vines. Well yesterday one of his talons got behind my glasses & into my left eye, thus scratching my eyeball. I put a drop of allergy eyedrop in, took a shower & fell asleep on the couch. My eye was still a bit blurry when I woke up so, knowing what I needed to do but not wanting to, I called the clinic to speak with a nurse. Since it was Labor Day, they were rather busy so I spent a bit of time on hold. So when the nurse came on & after I'd explained what had happened, she said I won the prize for the weirdest/strangest call of the day. I ended up going into urgent care where the nurse really did have a laugh about how this could really happen since I wear glasses. I'm having to put antibiotic drops in my eye four times a day.
Anyone else have this happen? I'd actually had my lower lid scratched awhile back but I didn't go in.

Well, here's the closest I can come to that...
Once upon a time, years ago, the Rickeybird got a talon actually stuck/hooked into my right ear-pierce hole. Getting him loose was murderous, and by the time it was over, the hole had been ruptured and was bleeding. After wrestling the bird back into his cage, I tried to clean and sterilize and bandage it. Things seemed to be on the mend. Went to bed that night. Woke up next morning... the bandaid had been popped off; I had what appeared to be a giant cherry attached to my lobe. Had to go to an Urgent Care place. The receptionist titled my presenting problem as "parrot attack to piercing area". They did all kinds of unspeakable things, finally let me go with ointment and antibiotic pills. Nobody said a thing, but they looked at me funny. Funnily. FUNNY. I think they were saving the chuckles up until I left.

OUCH! I can't imagine how it didn't rip when you were getting it out. Wow! And yes, I'm sure they did have a few laughs when you left.
