1. Got any good meds?
If you do, I'd take 'em now.

3. Ya know, the funny thing is it doesn't hurt
Just numb.

And this happened an hour ago.

5. The plastic runner for the office chair is starting to splinter
This was one such splinter.

It looks straight out of a horror movie, covered in spattered blood.

And what is its albedo?

7. Why in the world would you buy one of those fly-by-night home pedicure kits?
Which toe, by the way?

10. Right Big One
It's all bandaged up, and my foot is getting really sore, but I can still walk.

Did I mention wifey and I are going out to see Margaret Cho tonight?

12. No pain just soreness
It hurt for a millisecond when it happened, then it stopped feeling altogether

Is this bad?

13. I think that's normal.
I think there will be numbness after.

I'm NOT a doctor, though. :-(

Oh well, it could have been worse; it could have been a TWO inch shard of plastic.

Then it stopped

There's no shame in girlie screams are there?
