Ouchies

I just pulled a shard of glass out of my foot. It's been in there for at least four days, and I finally got sick of having to walk so carefully and all that I grabbed a needle and dug it out. Soooo, who's had broken glass on their floor this past week?

Ow! I think you win, because the only thing on my floor were some slivers of crockery and I didn't even get any of that in my foot.

Glad the glass is gone now. (As I'm sure you are, too.)

Hell yes. I'm going to find whoever let me step in broken glass ('cause, of course, it's not like I go running barefoot through the woods where the old dump used to be and there's tons of broken bottles about) and give 'im the whatfor!

Um, did you just now notice this glass or was it just too hard to get to?

I've had aquates [white, thin splinters] like this for days.

Well when I noticed it hurting, I picked at it and thought I managed to flick whatever it was out, and that the ouch when I stepped wrong was just the raw skin.

And then, as glass does, it worked itself deeper so that there was a definite "oh fuck there's something in my foot" feeling, but I kept hoping it would just work its way out on its own.

And THEN it got painful enough that I decided to just attack my foot with a pin and destroy skin until I could grab and pull on something.

(Bit of history that makes this make more sense: I fractured my wrist playing floor hockey in 9th grade, put a brace on it and kept playing the next day 'cause I hate fear didn't want to take the time to go see any doctors. And I'm lazy.)

~see entry of last Thursday~

Um, yea, doctor visits? no thanks.

~still can't fit shoes on her right foot~

Man, I hope you really did manage to get it all this time!

~offers painkillers and wine~
~and a soothing foot bath~

Hee hee, yeah, figured you'd understand. =D

I'm soaking it in a salt bath right now, waiting for it to stoften and open enough that I can go prod more without, yanno, having to tear open more skin. And swigging the universal painkiller of rum. ;-) Mm mm good!
