That sucks!
I've had that happen to me a couple times too.
I'm going to second what the good doc said.
Be sure you got it all out.
unlike a splinter that will fester and work its way to the surface, the eye will actually heal over a foreign object.
I found out about a small metal fragment which had to be removed from my eye just prior to getting an MRI (which I understand could have otherwise ended badly for me) (apparently the eyes don't like magnets installed)

Finally got myself sorted out, pretty much back to normal.

also got around to shooting a couple pics of the tank mount..

Sorry, the lighting sucked!




As you can probably tell, this is a 3 piece unit. Since I wanted the tanks tucked up as high as possible, my son made this about as tall as he could, but we could not get it into place as one large piece (The angle iron sits on top of the frame rails) So, he cut it in half (more or less) and made a connecting plate to tie them together.

Since it will be up next to the floor, I told him to weld studs in place so when we mount the tanks we won't have to worry about how to tighten the hardware.

Of course you are seeing it upside down in these pics..
Nothing fancy, but is sturdy enough not to flex, especially once the tanks are bolted on.. I know I know.. he didn't drill the angle iron mounting holes yet, that's because I hadn't drilled the frame before I got crap in my eye

Should get some shop time tonight to finish this part up and do a final test fit.. My water traps have not arrived yet, so no final mounting till then
