Every time I've walked over the past day or two, my left heel would have this nasty stinging pain, and tonight I decided to actually figure out what was causing it.
I saw a small pinprick, but the pain was coming from a tiny bit
away from the pinprick, and there was a tiny little lump where the pain was, so I did the obvious thing and took a (clean) safety pin and dug into it to find out what had gotten embedded in there.
It was a tiny shard of
broken fucking glass.
I actually do know how it got there, for the record. I broke a glass French press the other day in my apartment (it was, of course, a total accident--I was reaching for something in a cupboard and I knocked the French press off the counter with my elbow in the process, shattering it), and while I thought I'd managed to clean up all the glass, I guess a few really tiny bits didn't get swept up.
Either way, I cleaned the wound and it's not hurting now, so all's well that ends well. But that's the story of how I performed impromptu minor surgery on my foot with a safety pin. THE END.
