Ouch! It really depends on if it seals up quickly. Keep it closed and if it stops bleeding it should be ok, but ouchy. The heel hurts for a long time.

From what my docs tell me, tetanus is rare these days. They didn't even give Bobby a shot when he planted a drywall screw in his foot playing on a construction site. They numbed it and cut it out and told me to dab some antibiotic ointment on it.

I know the diabetes complicates healing so watch it closely!!

Cass, I don't believe you.

Daniel, is there any diabetes concern here? Or might that only affect healing?

And I think teatnus worries only come in with metal.

And I am off to visit my family on the other coast of Florida so they can pamper me and feed me cake and stuff. (It's not the b'day yet, so save the wishes for Wednesday)

See ya in the new thread.

Daniel, that's the kind of thing that it would never occur to me to take to a doctor (which is to say, like Cass, I think it just proves that my self-care is lousy). In any case, even with diabetes, I think you can -- at the very least -- keep an eye on it for a few days. It sounds like you cleaned and treated it as well as any doctor would, so just be mindful of it, and you should be fine. And -- this is VERY important -- you should use it as an excuse to get Andi to take care of you. Got that last part? It's KEY.

Utterly pointless post before the thread runs out.

I might get a 3-licious number out of it.

Happy travels and cake!

I don't believe you.

Okay, *this* is what you fear I am lying to you about? I am horrified I used to be able to tell you exactly where someone was from about three words into the interview.

I have achieved crock pot cream of mushroom soup. So freaking good. And easy. A crock pot and a stick blender at the end - the whole thing probably took about five minutes of work total.

I fear lots of things. I fear my love of the vroom vroom noise. I fear the months I have to wait until I can in clear conscience watch for the checkers. But mostly I'm afraid of walking out of here and never feeling again the way I feel when I'm with YOU t /Baby Houseman-Castroneves

Nah, end of March and then beginning of April for the American series and F1 is only three weeks away. It's getting close, bay-bee.

And you can try just a little taste of Nascar while you wait. First race is free...

Don't. You. DARE.

I'm just saying if you happened to be watching that Olympics thing on NBC tomorrow and left the tv on... There might be vroom vroom. Maybe some pit stops. A few flags... Nobody would have to know.
