I would rather had stubbed my toe...

[RKayne]

Last night I came inside off the balcony, had a moment of weakness and had a smoke with the wife. The cat, he is bad, he had knocked a toothpick onto the floor, I did not see it and somehow managed to stick it IN my foot, right below my big toe. 1 and 1/2 INCHES in. She had to get it out for me, tugged and it would not budge so...yanked and it came out. OMG my foot hurts, lol. I upped my Nic level.

 

[SudokuGal]

Ohhhh, OUCHIE!

 

[Moonflame]

Oh, that really sucks. Hope you start feeling better soon.

 

[scyllabub]

You're very brave, RK, I'd be calling for an air ambulance

If you're not already protected you should get an anti-tetanus injection - deep pointy wounds are nasty 8-o

See what happens when you smoke, its not only bad for your lungs, its bad for your feet... j/k

Hope its feeling better, foot injuries are the worst!

 

[PatriciafromCO]

OOOOW8-o I can imagine how much that hurts.....

 

[Kimerpuff]

ow ow ow.. dang just ow! hope it heals fast!

 

[RKayne]

LOL I need a 'funny' button for akingsley. Anyways, there is a small portion I am pretty sure is still in there bu tit feels pretty ok today and it is not even warm to the touch. I was making us canadian bacon and eggs and that same damn cat (he is a Maine .......they are...weird, lol) insists on being underfoot at all times so I had moved weird to push him away and I think I felt it It didn't hurt...just felt weird. Honest...I cannot remember the last time I had a tetanus shot but I am not going to get one. It looks ok, doesn't feel too bad today. I will just stick (pardon the pun) with epsom salt soaks for now. It was bad yesterday but the upped nic level helped, lol.

The Maine .... Cat's are the Great Dane's of the cat world..I want one! They say the are the sweetest cats ever..you got a weird sweet one! LOL
I hope the toe heals, it sounds painful. If the sore place forms a bump, you will know you have a piece still in there. It may work out or it may form a calcium deposit and cause problems. A Doctor is your best bet. Chef's need their feet!
I stuck an oyster knife through my hand when I worked in a Seafood restaurant. They made me pack it with a tar like something to work all the shell out! My 6 foot six, 400 pound boss almost fainted..I had to get a little 4 foot 10 Oriental waitress to do it for me!

 

[RKayne]

LOL! I won't have a prob with it, it went in the fleshy area under the big toe, literally 1 and 1/2 inches in so that piece is DEEP. It is toothpick, if it does not work out that will absorb I just really think this should hurt more than it does

 

[Mary Kay]

I am happy to help..give me a hammer Pat! ready? This should either pulverize it or or at least cause some serious pain..

hey where did RK go?

 

[PatriciafromCO]

Hey RK wanted to check back in and see how you were doing... I love Maine coons .. .. What color typ and eye type... always wanted a green eye cat... .. RK I hope there isn't a piece left in there (( )).. I was always getting cut, snagged on something, steping on something as a kid I'm pretty sure I am covered for life for that being the only shot my Parents made sure I was current on before the next accident might happen...

 

[PatriciafromCO]

LOL MaryKay.. I'll pass ....I'll take RK's word for it...

 

[RKayne]

Well, I am sure there is something left in there but it is DEEP and hey, it is a toothpick point so if it goes anywhere it will go out or absorb! Anyways, I was able to walk almost normal today. Had to run out for blue hair dye and stuff for corn fritters, what a combo, eh?
I still think this should hurt more, lol. Oh, and Mary, we watched a show then went to bed, I love netfilx watch-it-now!!

Here. Max and I decided to re-create the 'giant cat pic' for Ya'll

 

[Mary Kay]

Yep, a Great Dane among cats! You are so cute! The hairdo isn''t so severe!
I want one of them thar steroid kitteh's!

 

[Kate51]

WOW! Imagine that drapped around your neck on a cold winter's night! AUGGGH! My husband and I cannot sleep together, we've each got two cats, plus I have the dog to share the couch with....that cat is three times bigger than Sadie! She would be a nervous wreck. (She's not allowed to bite the cats. Have to keep telling her, don't ask for trouble!) Max, what a great name for him. He looks rather proud!

RK, hope your foot is ok...
MK, you got up and running!!! Yay!

 

[SudokuGal]

RK, what a gorgeous kitty Max is...just love his size...I love the big kitties. I call regular sized ones half-kitties.

 

[RKayne]

He got his name from 'Where the Wild Things Are', lol. And he is not done growing My foot is fine, I am kind of disturbed by that fact. I really think if you have a TOOTHPICK shoved and inch and a half in your foot that it would bother you more...either way, I am not complaining! Unfortunately, Max is still all kitten (this breed does not mature until they are 3-5 yrs and he will be 3 in late spring...) so he is BAD BAD BAD and does not get to sleep with us but he gets the bathroom (it's a good sized one!). He does not like us to sleep, see...this is Max Max I know the guy who does these has a kat JUST like our boy kat...

 

[Kate51]

VERY cute video!! And pretty true to life, as well. Our cats have an electronic doorbell. So they get up on the windowsill, set if off, and decide they need to wash thoroughly before they decide to acknowledge you are there holding the door open!! Heaven help us if a bird flys by, gotta watch that for awhile.

 

[scyllabub]

The Maine .... Cats are the Great Danes of the cat world..I want one!
