Dangerous weatherstripping...sheesh

Ever do something so stupid, avoidable and embarrassing??
I opened a door onto my foot, causing the very sharp edge of the weatherstripping to cut my foot. I went to the doctor to get an antibiotic (of course I didn't go right away...) and wound up having minor surgery to completely remove my toe nail!! No pedicures for me anytime soon!!


At least it wasn't one of my fingers, right??

I'm feeling fine-- was a little challenging walking to the park with Ryan and Emma yesterday but it's not so bad... Just feel stupid! And anxious to fix it so no one else has the same problem!!

  4. I would call this one of your `very annoying`moments.
    gotta say that must of hurt when it happened maybe you can put a tatoo where the baby nail used to be...put a pretend manicured nail there.
    Well I would agree with Kathie only a blogger would take this in the ER...LOL. Well do get well, hope your healing is quick!

  7. Oh, Randy, that is no fun at all! Especially when it limits your grandparenting. I feel for you. And I can imagine the thoughts going through your head when you realized what had happened! : )

  11. Hate to even tell anyone what I did this summer. I ran my finger over w the sewing machine. Lodged the Needle into the BONE OH! I was hoarse bc I had a lung infection I couldn't yell for help. I had to go from the 2nd floor, to the basement Garage get DH to come and take me to the ER. I think the meds were making me too shakey. I proabbly shouldn't have been operating 'heavy' machinery! I laugh about it now.

    It healed nicely. there is a small piece of the needle still in there, but I have full use of the finger. It will be OK as long as it doesn't bother me they aren't going to take it out.
