Ouch, sounds painful!
It was one of my worst injuries so far! I stepped on a shard of glass barefoot, and it went so deep it almost poked out of the top of my toe before it snapped off inside. It was so close to the surface, it was actually removed from the top of my toe! I told the podiatrist I LOVED him when he finally pulled it out of my foot, haha
Foot wounds are the worst. So painful, and it's hard to actually stay off your feet. Glad they took care of it.
That's gnarly. A bit off topic, but I remember stepping on a cactus and getting pricked on my foot. For some reason, I didn't pull it out and just let my body absorb the cactus prick. I'm not certain, but there might still be a decade old cactus prick still in my foot. I would love to get tested to see.
