Welcome to Lockdown 49ers, part of the Lockthon Podcast Network.

I'm your host Brian Peacock.

Thanks everybody for joining me on this weeky Wednesday.

I was worried that our guy that was listed on IR to return wasn't going to be able to come back.

We might have to lose him for the year, but no,

Nick Winkler's back and he's coming back strong.

Nicholas Winkler, come on down.

Yeah, how's it I buddy?

It's good. It was an eight day I are.

So you know here I am back ready to roll.

It's, man, it was rough. I'm not gonna lie to you. I've been through quite a few injuries in my days, a couple of surgeries and things like that. And, it, my grains are no joke, man. And when you get that corneal abrasion, you know, any sort of light that leaks in there is going to give you a

migraine and I just had one after the next after the next and yeah it was I'm sorry

I had to bail on you last minute but you know when the when the little guy just

stabs you in the eye and takes a nice chunk out and you gotta go to the

emergency room. That's crazy I didn't know that's that's how that works so you

basically had to be in as much pitch black as possible for eight days?

Yeah, well, I mean, it heals pretty quickly.

Okay. Actually, yeah, it was just the first three days or so that I was really sensitive to like the first two days I

couldn't do I was hiding out in dark rooms with sunglasses on you know like it was

it was brutal yeah and the third day I you know started having lights on and let in a little bit of daylight and stuff like that, but it was still a little bit painful.
