I just recovered from my latest Foot Folly!
I go out and do my yardwork in my sandals-bad choice.
I was moving some wood around and got a small splinter on the top of my foot-along the tendon of my small toe. Because I could see it very well I had to use a magnifying glass and a few yoga poses to try and dig it out.
Those things hurt the devil. It felt like someone driving a needle under the skin. I dug tiny pieces out of it little by little until I could not stand it.
Yesterday I went all out and got the rest of it.
A little antiseptic cream and a band-aid!
I could almost cry, that how good it feels today!
I got splinters daily....like MANY per day.....after a while I just let em be, they come out by themselves after a few days.
The best splinter I ever took, was about 4 inches long. It went in, in the soft spot between my fingers, and emerged about the centre of my palm.
The splinter wasn't even sharp, it just rammed it's way thru my hand.
