So That’s Why

I managed to cut myself on glass about a week ago and wondered why it was still sore. Not all the time, but just sometimes. It wasn’t infected or anything, but it was a bit sore once in a while a little over a week later.

Turned out there was still a good size piece of glass in there, about the size of a fingernail clipping.

Not a big deal. A Pyrex type dish broke in the kitchen. I was really carefully cleaning it up, but didn’t notice quite how far the glass had gone (I hadn’t been present when it broke so I didn’t see). Dragged the top of my big toe over a decent size piece, apparently.

It seemed like it was out, but I guess not. I didn’t want to rip apart the cut to check. It didn’t feel like anything was in there, but I guess it went in at an angle. I changed the band-aid this morning and felt a hard something at the edge of the cut, and not like a scab. I prodded a little, and a piece of glass the size of the cut pulled out.

No wonder. I bet it will heal better now.
