Balloon hit me in the eye!

I used to do a part of my act where I would encourage the kids to hit me with balloons. That was until one whacked me in the eye. Pretty scary to be relaxing back home after the show; feeling some itching in the eye and seeing this in the mirror. Shout out to Specsavers in Sutton who told me to go A and E. Although it turned out fine, it was good to get the reassurance of what it was; a subconjunctival hemorrhage. Looks gruesome but heals up in about 4-5 weeks and now it’s pretty normal although still a little sign of it a few months later.
