A cop with a broken eye socket can fire such accurate rounds?

28. You were in shock.

That's understandable with a traumatic injury like that. They hurt like heck and are scary!

I also lost my sight in my eye for a few weeks. For me it was almost three weeks before I could really see out of my eye again. Longer before I had something resembling clear vision. I didn't think I would ever see out of it and had begun to resign myself to the idea of being partially blind in one eye. I have vision problems which complicated my recovery and I still have issues in my left eye today. I can see though, which is a plus! I'm not complaining in the least.

Mine was in the lower socket. I had swelling in my whole left side of my face and the entire thing was bruised from above my brow to my jaw. It was ugly for some weeks. I couldn't use my facial muscles to smile or frown, or much of anything without pain. It was Z-something or other fracture which included my cheekbone and caused a hematoma (sp?) and neural injury to my eye. It wasn't the worst of my problems after the fact, but it was the one that took me out.

Breaking your face hurts. It's not something people can endure without major pain and suffering. You don't shake it off and go back in for another round. That stuff only exist on television and it's not what happens in real life.
