| Ouch!!!!!!!!! So today when Nathan was here, some little girls came up asking me to donate to an animal shelter. How could I say no? But as I told them to hold on while I went to get my purse, Bo ran out the door. of course Abby follows. I was chasing them up and down the street for 15 minutes before nathan knew something was even wrong (he's not very observant lol) if it werent for him I probly would have lost my babies. he ran out and grabbed Abby, and Bo followed b/c he had been chasing Abby. I was barefoot, and as we are walking back i step on something hard. I thought it was a pointy rock b/c it stung a little. then i tried to brush it off and feel a seering pain in my toe. I look down and there is a tack in my foot . yep, a TACK. not the little ones either, the heavy duty ones they use to go through solid wood. I think it has something to do with the construction people who had been there earier that day to drywall my brothers room. After 30 minutes of crying my eyes out i finally let nathan rip it out. OUCH. It still hurts. I have no idea how I'm going to walk around school tomorrow. It made me sick to my stomach when he showed it to me. It was sooo big around. and it went in right where you bend your toe. I'm keeping my shoes by the door from now on.

| Yes, DO get a tetanus shot, if you haven't had one in, I think, 10 years. It is very important. Hope you are feeling better soon!

| OUCH! I hope your toe feels better! Definitly go get a tetanus shot like the others recommended! Until you can get to the doctor, clean the puncture wound w/ neosporin or rubbing alcohol. I would've been crying too! I can't even stand a splinter, let a lone a huge tack!

| you might want to go to the doctors for a tetnus shot. I stepped on a nail once... a rusty nail and it went through my shoe into my foot and my mom took me to the doctors and they made me have a tetnus shot but its for the best to check at least just in case! I hope it feels better today!
