haha, i stepped on a nail a few weeks ago, that upcoming weekend was fusion dreams, so i decided to go anyways with a gimped foot. if any of you saw the hobbler at fusion, the hobbler was ME
if you get any drugs prescribed to you, dont mix them with alcohol like i did.

Ouch... I stepped on a big one when I was little.
Then a golf tee about 6 years ago (I still dont understand how this happened) but that one went in as far as it could before the base hit the bottom of my sandle..doh! heal that foot!

^Listen to Erik.... I worked in construction as a framer for over 10yrs and had my fair share of nail punctures in various places.... a Tetanus shot is pretty much a necessity for safety reasons!

its been a day, it hurts like whoa - but only when i stand on it cause its probably bruised. theres no sign of infection..... and im a girl, so i ALWAYS do the right thing, no matter what. :198:
but i truely thought that a tetnus was only neccissary for rusty things. this one just had some drywall resido on it. and some wood resido. thats it, wo would it be the samea s if i stepped on an oversized staple? thats the logic im using, cause i hear tetnus shots hurt.

Drywall has lots of shitty Chemicals in it. I used to Sand it when I was a Labourer. mmmm Gypsum! Just be safe and I hope your Foot heals proper. :)

^ yeah i've been sanding down the walls for the past three days as well - when i blow my nose its blue because thats the color of the paint right now. im wearing a hospital mask thing, but i guess its not working well enough.
im more concerned about my eyes if anything. but i finally found my eye protection from school and busted the shit out.

for me personally, the first time i stepped on a nail, it quickly went in and out, it hurt, i got my tetanus shot but the vaccine or whatever didnt spread throughout my arm, so for 1 week i had a huge left bicep. this time around when i stepped on a nail, it was worse. i stepped on a 30 year old rusty nail. it went in my foot, hit a nerve and caused minor internal bleeding, causing all my toes to be numb for 4 days. my prescription took away the infection and now all my toes are fully functional. i still feel the puncture in my foot though, but now it just feels like im walking on a very minimal bruise instead of feeling pain anytime my toes moved. oh ya, to add: my nerves were so fucked up for those 4 days, that i couldnt move my own toes, AND it hurt for me to manually move my toes any which way. live and learn i suppose. the first day i went back to work, i bought a new pair of steel toed boots to promote safety on the site, i dont want to be an example again
