Kanga was walking on the level against the wall when he almost knocked over a sign. I was lazy and didn't feel like walking around the couch so I stepped on the computer desk and stepped on the back of the couch when the computer desk split under my weight and a nail sliced the bottom and top of my foot.
It stings like a bugger but I put anibacterial polysporin on it and bandaged it good.

What really sucks is that I have to go back to work tomorrow. I nurse and I'm on my feet the entire time! I sure hope it heals enough to take the abuse tomorrow!

I don't know where you work, but you may want to have someone take a quick look at just to make sure it doesn't do anything to you.

Movin' on up!
If it has been more than 7-10 years, since your last tetanus shot, you need to go see a doctor.

Tamme, absolutely you need a tetanus shot. Tetanus is not a fun way to go.

Other than your foot, are you ok? Sounds like you had a scare there!!!

My doctor has told me that if you get a bad cut, or a deep cut, you should get a tetanus shot. like if its dirty too. go as soon as you can! i am overdue for my booster and hopefully I can get away with it.

It is a good idea to get a tetanus shot - I just got one after Peedoodle bit me - the last time I had one was 11 years ago!
