So, this morning I got up and finally decided that I was going to brave the removal and cleaning of the bandages. The Dr. that had helped me told me to wait for 4-5 days, and I figured that I better do it before I go on this camping trip. SO, I precariously bathe and clean myself up. Then when I get done I clean up my foot... as I take off the bandages I get a little worried... there was that slimy puss that she had told me to be careful of...
somethin about infection and blah blah blah... no, kidding, I really did pay attention... a little bit. So, I sit down with my trusty bottle of handy dandy hydrogen peroxide and being the "Pouring and cleaning of the wound..." and just as I pour I see something shiny. So, I look again and I gently pull THIS out of my foot.
It's about the same length as the one they got out when they cut the hole into my foot in the first place. I put it on a piece of tape, and to give you the idea of how big it is, that piece of tape is 1in in width.So, I cleaned up the gooey goo... cleaned up the rest of it all... applied the necessary globs of neosporin and taped myself back up for another few days. I just figured that this time, since I had the additional piece of shard of glass, that I would share with you all so you wouldn't think that I was just a big boob for no reason at all.
Anyway, gonna get ready to go camping now... and don't you worry - I will be wearing my shoes the WHOLE time. :D

WOW WEE! Glad you found that. Your poor foot. You weren't having sharp pains when you stepped down? Have fun camping! And yes, shoes would be good.
I want to see BLOOD! And what the heck, the cut into your foot and can't even get all the glass out! I would demand a refund! You know I would too.
