This is the picture I took of my toe last night in the ER, when I had just gotten the splinter about 7 hours earlier.

When the podiatrist looked at my toe today, she said she could only see with magnifying glass only a small speck of something,

“but we better be safe and investigate, with your immune disorder, especially since it hurts you”.

All good things to hear from a doctor–it means she’s listening 🙂

But then once she cut the skin she found an over 1/2 inch splinter–She couldn’t believe it. “I can’t believe you weren’t screaming in pain!!”

The photo of the splinter and the entire story is in the next post 🙂
