Yesterday I brought out a Random Topic Wednesday. Don't worry nothing hit me today, but I experienced some pain and now I know how a surgeon feels when cutting up a body to remove something.
Today was actually a lovely morning. I got out of bed and went through my usual routine, walked up a few stairs to get my towel from the laundry room after that I proceeded back down the steps. I felt that soft tender hole in my foot press against the floor with each step, stepping a little strangely I felt the corner of one of the steps push right up on the hole...
A sharp pain went through my body... Uh yes, I know this feeling... It can only be one thing... I thought as I stretched down to confirm my thoughts. Yes the tip was in there, nothing else would make the hold look that way.
Finally the moment I had been waiting for, I was going to dig it out of there. Before I did this I took a shower to soften up the skin.
After the shower I popped into the kitchen and proceeded to select a knife... I finally felt like a doctor, ready to examine the hole and find the best way to cut it open. I did not look like a professional, if anything I looked like a psycho serial killer
This tip was so deep in there and I just couldn't get it out... When all hope seemed lost I reached for the needle... YES, I had done it, I got that sucker out... really should of started with the needle first. With some blood on the knife I examined the destruction. What was once a small hole had become a moon crater.
So where did Top Tip Thursday's inspiration come from? I think you can guess that one.
So today's tips are:
- When you have a thorn tip stuck in your foot, it is always best to get it out and clean out the hole.
- Never use a knife to cut yourself open, it is very sharp and can make a huge mess.
- Using a needle is best, it is thin and can get to the thorn without making a huge mess
- When walking outside in the garden with thorn trees, make sure to watch where you are walking.
- Cold water takes really long to soften your skin, you might freeze to death before it becomes soft enough. Use hot water.
- Only Doctors and Surgeons should be cutting into the human body. You will put a new meaning to DIY if you attempt this. DIY: Destroy It Yourself
Just on a little side note for self improvement. I will be doing pushups, situps and squats for the amount of $$$ (ratio;$1:1) I earn on this post and will give a short feedback every day at the end of each post. This will be split in equally between all 3. Any not done will carry onto the next day.
