ht be a bit of a distraction today but yeah I uh look at this oh my God straight eye patch put on this morning yeah not a long story bent down to pick up Axel he threw his arms up so fast his thumb went about six inches deep into my eyeball and his nail his nail chopped off part of my eye I guess or whatever and they uh guess tried to fight through it tried to figure it out Dro my kids off at school and then went to the doctor and he said oh yeah third of your cornea is gone there's a big divot

out of there so hopefully I can get this patch off tomorrow though are you blind I doubt it pal a thir I can't see anything no I can barely see anything yeah so he's not blind obvious one ey covered of course but are you going to be blind forever like is this going to recover did they say oh no yeah I'm yeah it's going to regrow we'll be good are you sure of that is that you just like talking I'm not sure of anything I'm not sure of anything right now but that's the plan man it's going to be gre

at this is good I told you last night I text you I said I might have a bit of an eye situation tomorrow and that's before I knew any of this I just knew I couldn't open my eye and it was bright red inside and it burned all night I will say that is terrible I wish that upon no human when I get a little hair in my eye I am so mad it is so uncomfortable the whole I mean it is a very difficult thing to go through so I apologize I did tease earlier like hey I think AJ's going to look a little differe

nt because it's the first time you've ever texted me and said something happened first time ever Wow first time this has ever happened so that was last night too before anyone knew anything they just thought like I was at my one of my son's flag football games and it was the very beginning of the game when I got jabbed and I knew instantly like this is not a normal eye pooke man and I was people would come up and talk to me I was like I'm just telling you I'm not crying i' got I got an eyeball s

ituation thing going on I'm not high okay I'm moving it on yeah I don't have pink eye I haven't been around any butts I'm not high I'm not crying I'm all emotional like Michigan coach you allot to show your emotion that's right A lot of people say that's wild the way you reacted but hey that's passion you hard to win a football game it's hard to win a football game especially if you get an opportunity like that especially with the passing of the head coach you know what I mean like that whole th

ing but like uh you having to explain that and say no just Axel just thumbed my eye or whatever he I assume got annoying and the fact you lost a third of your cornea is that what you said yeah he he the guy you know put my put my eye in there and he looked and he's like okay yep here we go he got the the patch out and he's like he you know what he did ask me though he said do you have to be seen in public today and I said uh yeah kind of and he said okay well hopefully meet me at 8: a.m. tomor i

n my office and hopefully we can take this off okay so there is a little bit of like a doctor who said maybe tomorrow this thing's all healed back up even though you got a third of your corne ripped off good enough to take the patch off I guess tomorrow like I guess whatever whatever kind of healing you can get overnight yeah we'll see what happens hey and shout out to those glasses those the the what are these bro the bif focals the no the transition the part that's here these things uh fr the

frame fit my JP that's what I'm saying they're hanging on for dear life what are these what is this part called here the thing that goes around your ear I honestly have no idea me neither I was just trying to find the word I have no idea I was going to call it the legs of it but I think I think legs place the legs are hanging on for dear life there maybe maybe you go to a gas station pick up some of Connor's sunglasses for tomorrow if it's going to be the new you what if your sunglasses AJ Hawk

that'd be sick send you some maybe we'll see what happens man I don't know I've tried a couple different pairs trust me none of them fit especially I have an old school eye patch too could put over it then no glasses fit we need that part need it now I'll see I'll see but I tell you what they don't make those they don't make those for extra large heads either because the thing adjusts and it is so tight on my head still so the hinge the temple and the temple tip is the name of these things I'm I

'm talking that's not right yeah it seems interesting I'm talking about the one that says Temple is the one that I'm talking yeah I'm looking at a different one it also is calling that the temple things make sense to me cuz your Temple's right there right yeah mhm happy a didn't get your Temple part is the corne you that's the one right that's the that's in the inside correct it like covers what it covers your eyeball and stuff take the center like the m whatever it is it was bleeding all night

long yeah it was brutal did you look like Sabin that eye look like Sabin no I couldn't even like I tried to open it enough well I walked into the doctor's office this morning in the way goes oh okay you um we got you want me give you some numbing drops because I looked both eyes were just shot because I I guess the left eye is trying to make up for I don't know and she got some numbing numbing drops in my eye so I could open it enough to get examined but those only last for 15 minutes so the Cor

ia is the clear outermost layer of the eyeball oh sure okay so it's right there in front of it it is protecting what you're looking out of and a third of it now gone because of one of his kids whose name is Axel actual name Menace ripped it off Axel Hawk okay not a bad name no does he feel bad about this yeah does Axel know uh Axel does know he does not feel bad at all they don't know I have the patch so that was not a safe drive to school today I drove him to school today before I got the patch

when I couldn't either ey yeah we said we talked I'm probably not driving tonight I don't have carpool tonight luckily for my daughter's basketball but um they don't Axel doesn't know the other kids know my daughter already told him when I couldn't see last night you did this to him Axel you did this today oh he might live with this forever uhoh oh my God you didn't get that out of his m might when he comes home and he sees the patch then that might you did this to me let him know think this wa

s you you did this to me look at this this is because of you make him think about make him think about that for the rest of his life you know AJ make him think about that for the rest of his life Axel Hawk's going to do some of these things yeah we knew that you knew that you signed up for that when you named him Axel that's right that's just how it goes it was incidental definitely incidental eye poke but if someone with my family was going to do it it was definitely going to be the youngest Ax

el no question charges to the game that's going toen when get Aid named Axel Hawk there's going to be some downside but the upside Axel Hawk wins another football game with 50 tackles they can't wait to see it hey AJ Thank You For Fighting through adversity today I love it it's a new adversity I've never faced so it's going to be fun to come through this one yeah you you kind of having your vision in Stereo is also awesome I'm sure that's not going to get annoying at all and you're a danger behi

nd the wheel already I couldn't imagine not being able to see 50% of the road but hey keep keep driving with both feet out there keep driving with both feet let's talk did you get to see one half of the pack
