Claire Willis, 45, felt a “pop” as she was patting a towel to her face after getting out of the shower.
“Tim rushed me to a local hospital and a doctor told me that I had perforated my cornea and that I needed to go back to the UK. “I felt so isolated in the hospital, and when they suggested amputation, I was totally against the idea,” she said.“Although I was devastated at the idea, I was in so much pain that I knew it needed to be done.
Speaking after the operation, she added: “After the bandages came off, I had to cope with how I looked and the reality hit me., and I even left my cleaning job at a school because of how it looked — I didn’t want to scare the kiddies.“I had to learn alone how to cope with a half-amputated eye — it was sticky on the lids and I was scared to clean it in case I knocked the cosmetic shell out.“I never hid my eye, though.

Jockey says she 'failed' after recognising her horse slaughtered on cameraA Queensland jockey describes the horror of seeing a horse she says she rode for years killed at an abattoir on the ABC's 7.30 program. 💔💔💔 'expendable', that says it all. Those poor animals deserve better. Unfortunately, there is so much money to be made from them, their welfare takes a back seat. I hope ppl keep this in mind when it comes to the Melbourne cup... Defund the ABC .

'Have it both ways': Melbourne council to hold Australia Day 'morning of mourning'A Melbourne council will hold a solemn ceremony to acknowledge the impact of European settlement on Indigenous Australians before its usual Australia Day celebrations — a move an Aboriginal group says could provide a national model for January 26. Treasonous. Then they can all go to work and not get paid for the holiday, I would really like to see their actual commitment to the cause. 'The move follows years of debate around the country about whether to move the national day from January 26.' No debate in my street or suburb. The ABC misfits think that their views reflect all of Australia. No ABC you only represent the 5% who are never satisfied.
