Monday morning I let the pups out as usual. I noticed that the sprinkler was on, so I went to turn it off. I walked across my backyard as I do all the time. I stepped on a thorn. I pulled the thorn out. But a stubborn piece of that thorn got stuck in my foot. I could not get it out. I tried EVERYTHING I could think of. I tried baking soda paste, hydrogen peroxide, Epsom salt, I even had John try to cut it open. Side note there is not enough tequila in the world to make that not hurt.
So this morning I went to doctor. I really did not want to go to the doctor to get a stupid thorn removed. I thought she was going to think I was an idiot. Luckily I left feeling justified. The thorn was in my foot pretty deep. She dug at it for half an hour. Every time she would grab the thorn she would get a little sliver, but not the whole thing. She had to give me 3 different shots of Lidacain to numb my foot. But finally the little booger came out. And it was LITTLE. Luckily I have no infection, just a hole in my foot. And the new resolution to never walk outside barefoot again. I am putting a pair of flip flops by my back door. Seriously that thing freakin hurt. Let this be a lesson to you all. Never walk barefoot through grass. There's all sorts of stuff hiding in there that can cause you a LOT of pain.
