Narrative

EE was wearing his safety glasses. Was performing his bid job as a bagger. Wind started blowing rather hard for the 1st time in weeks & some foreign material got in his right eye irritating it. After 24 hours the redness didn't recede so he was sent to a doctor. Medication is working wonders as the redness is going away as of today 9/15/05. EE missed 9/19-20. Worsened over weekend.
