Flip-flops are No Protection

*If you get squeamish don't read.  I might have a hard time writing this. :0/ *

Check it out.

Flip-flops are no protection against mulch.  The mulch will win every time.  We were leaving Wal-mart and who knows how, I'm just good I guess, but I stepped off the curb and ended up with a piece of mulch in my foot through my flip-flop.

Now I'm going into detail for those of you who want to know. If you don't, skip this part.  I had to pull the wood out of my foot just to get my shoe off.  I stood there and let my foot bleed all over the parking lot. ;0)  Hopped over to the car and got a look at my foot.  There was a hole as big as the tip of my pinky finger in the bottom of my foot.  We couldn't tell if there was any thing in my foot.  There was something black and we didn't know if it was part of my flip-flop, a piece of the bark or just from it being such a big hole.

The whole reason we were at Wal-mart was to get treats to take to Thad at school for his birthday so we took the cold stuff home, dropped Kate off next door, went to the school, checked out Norma and headed to Instacare.

I was so happy to see Lori from our ward was the nurse that helped us.  I was not looking forward to what I knew they would have to do.

Did you know that having the shot to numb up your foot hurts worse then the tetanus shot I had to have.  And you all know how I feel about needles.  Then here is where I nearly lost it.  The doctor really dug around in my foot to make sure that that there was not anything in there.  So much blood and I could feel how deep he was digging.  It took everything in me not to lose it.  He finally decided that there wasn't anything in there and told me to stay off it to let it clot up.  If it was to get infected to come in to my regular doctor for a prescription.

So much for bowling for Thad's birthday.
