I stepped on a staple!!  

I did not go into hospital for this little staple either!
I just put extra strength polysporin and a large bandaid on it! Had it been a long nail or something of that nature I would have....

So where were you and what were you doing when you stepped on the staple?

it was in my house, and it was clean safty pin....

Oh a safety pin...still that must have hurt!! I know the staple did!

Wow! that would be bad...one giant sliver and I can imagine very painful!!
I am glad that it worked out O.K for you in the end! :)

Thanks so much for sharing your story here!

I know, talk about a really big splinter!

I have had hospital trips before too, but busting your chin open on the side of a filing cabinet just isn't as cool of a story ha ha.

Here's my hospital trip...

I fell off a set of monkey bars in grade school and nearly bit my tongue right off!! I actually had to have it sewn back on!!!

My son fell in his bedroom and split his ear wide open on his bed and needed stitches also...the silly things we do! LOL Definately not funny at the time!

yeah. I have had other hospital trips too but they're certainly not always funny at the time. We do do crazy things in life that end us there, but that's life right... you can't live in a bubble!

So true raychill! :)

Don't worry it happens there was a knife hidden in a chair at my house and I stepped on it and it went through my foot.... not fun

Oh my tazboydan!!!!
A knife in a chair?
Who would do that!?!
So sorry to hear this...That must have been really bad! Did you need stitches or anything?

I also want to welcome you to My Lot tazboydan and I hope you really enjoy your time here! :)

I'd rather a knife go through my foot than through my butt I think!

I'm with you there raychill :)

Oh my I just about threw up to think of all of your toes stuck to the step!!1 Must have been very painful and was there alot of blood?

Where were you and what were you doing when you stepped on the nail(s)two years prior?

I had my tetenus shot about six years ago and they last for ten years so I am O.K that way but that is another story for another time!

~Heavens~

HaHa, you're so funny!

Yes, there was alot of blood...but I had some Neosporin and a bunch of bandages, haha, that's all I needed and limped around for a few days.

With the two nail incidents, one was in a piece of wood, like a 2X4 and I stepped on it in the backyard. It went right through my Tennis shoe into the middle of my foot....not deep deep, just enough to need a Tetenus shot though.

The other time there was a nail in the grass and I didn't know of course, and stepped on it. It went into my heal, and that was about six months after the first incident, haha.

I read once that if you are punctured by a rusty nail, and you can put peroxide on it immediately, it can bubble the Tetenus right out....interesting huh?

Wow! I have never heard that about peroxide but I always have a bottle on hand and do use it when I have cuts etc.

Thanks so much for the response Kashmeresmycat! :)

Ouch!!!

That would have definitely torn the skin when that thumbtack came out!! Was there a lot of blood? It is surprising the amount of blood out of the smallest hole!

You sound like me....If it can be done then I do it to myself!! LOL

Thanks so much for your response!!

~Heavens~

Thanks so much for your loving response here Cookie!!
You are a great friend....
I too am glad that it was me rather than my son who was also in bare feet!

Hugs

~Heavens~

Wow! You really have a thing with nails...Ouch and three tetenus shots in your life time!! I only remember one tetenus shot about six years ago but that is a story for another time!

Thanks so much for sharing with me my friend! :)

~Heavens~

Hey, that was just nails, don't even get me started on glass and mirrors, that would be a novel in itself.lol

Glass and mirrors!?!
Okay Okay I'm not even going to go there! LOL

It seems you are an accident waiting to happen!!!

Take Care my friend!

Just a good example of why certain things like dance lessons can help you. Up until I started dancing I was somewhat clumsy..

I'm so glad that you took dance lessons then! :)

Yes, I can relate!! what is it with being in school and stapling your fingers? I did that too!! LOL

Take Care and thanks for your response!

Thanks so much for sharing! It was really unexpected and caught me off gaurd but it is not too bad now! I put extra strength Polysporin on it and a large bandaid so that it would stay on better!

Thanks so much lingli :)
It's not so bad tonight! I have a large bandaid with polysporin over the area and a sock to keep it on LOL

That would make you feel pretty foolish but no worries...how would you know!?!
I didn't even notice the piece of artwork on the floor in my livingroom!! It really caught me off guard!! It is still a bit tender tonight but not too bad :) I'm just glad it was me and not my son....

Thanks so much for sharing your story here today...It did give me a little chuckle! :)
