[Romantic Old Bird]

It doesn't say too much about the nature of the injury, but between the lines, I think statements like 'she's had to wear an eye patch since' suggest she has been seen and is now at home. If you poke yourself in the eye, you could pierce the eye completely I suppose, but it's unlikely. I think we would have heard a lot more and she would still be in hospital if she had.

This makes me think it might be pretty minor. Let's hope so.
