    Cool Injecting in the toe (Ouch!!!)...

    Well, not exactly injecting, but close . . .

    About ten minutes ago, I prepped a test shot, using a 20 g. 1" needle to load and switching to a 23 g. 1" needle so dear-old-dad could inject it in my delt.

    No sweat . . . After the shot, unscrewed the second needle, dropped the syringe in the trash can, and dropped the two pins in my handy-dandy sharps container.*

    Or so I thought, as I stepped out of the closet where I keep the sharps container and straight onto the 20 g. needle, which had fallen out of its protective sheaf and onto the carpet.

    Like I said, "Ouch!!!"

    No big whoop - some bleeding (and you thought a 20 g. in the ass was painful?), but easily stemmed with some alcohol (to clean it) and a small band-aid.

    But I did learn a lesson that I thought would be helpful to pass on: always make sure that when you're carrying a used pin in its protective sheaf to wherever you dispose of it, don't hold it upside-down.

    End of lesson.

THey're available in any drug store - usually with the diabetes supplies - and only cost a couple of bucks. I know a lot of people use old coffee cans or supplement containers to dispose of their pins, but I kinda like the sharps containers - it's cool when you watch them fill up, and you can be the first kid on your block to get one!

    By the way, for any trivia buffs, it was the middle toe on my left foot. And I just told y'all about it in case anyopne was thinking that I'm too perfect . . .

    that sucks
    I shoved a 16 penny nail straight through my palm a few months ago. I left it there when I went to the doc for the shock effect. Mine didnt hurt all that bad till he yanked it out though! I'm not even going to tel lyou how it happened, it was way too dumb to share even with the understanding brothers of ar.

    Hmm...not a bad idea, I have noticed my toes aren't as symmetrical as I would like, maybe this is the answer.

    .......but, have you ever had a needle injected into your toe on purpose ???????? I had some planter's warts on the ball of my right foot, and a few spots on my big toe once. I thought I was going to die when they stuck the needle into my toe to put the anesthetic (sp??) in. The nurse was like "breathe, breathe !" Definitely won't be doing spot injections there.
