Woo Hoo, I am finally splinter free!

I think once the anasthetic wears off it is going to really hurt - the splinter turned out to be over 1cm long and as thick as a matchstick. No wonder it would not come out! I've got another box of antibiotics and an extra dressing, hopefully that will be the last of it.

Really needed that tetanus shot!

[-] RustyRaven@aussie.zone 9 points 1 week ago

It's a bit sobering to think that before tetanus shots and antibiotics a wound like that could easily have been fatal, or led to having the hand amputated (which also could have been fatal). Mind you, I would have already been crippled by the broken arm when I was 12

That's why gardeners should wear gloves. I have certainly learned by lesson.
