Sounds nice and painful.

It's getting better, but I agree I don't know if "Leatherman foot" will ever catch on.

Now we're talking!!

Morning has arrived, and with the anasthetic, completely gone, the sock issue, seems to have been moved further down the list of contemplations. I have to keep the stitches dry, and Mrs. Jusme, has said that my idea for avoiding a shower or bath for the next week or so, is not an option, I am working on a plastic bag and electrical tape contraption.

I can tell that I won't be doing a lot of running, or turning quickly for a little while.

My family has discussed the possibility, of keeping sharp objects away from me, permanately, and apparently are working in shifts, to watch for any signs that I may be a further threat to my safety.

Yeah I guess it would come in handy when the dryer, eats one on occasion.

Strange title, but, sitting here with my foot elevated, with the anesthetic, wearing off, it's a thought that crossed my mind. Let's go back a few hours...

I got home from work, sat on my couch, and decided to work on a small paracord project.
The project only took a few minutes, and I opened the knife blade on my Leatherman Wave. I cut the end of the paracord, and looked over towards the end table for my lighter, to melt the end, while simultaneously, shifting my multitool from my right hand to my left. Somehow, in the exchange, either my right hand let go too soon, or my left hand was too slow at getting a good grip. The force of gravity, took over, and my multitool, fell. It of course fell blade downward, penetrated my pant's leg, my sock, and came to rest in the side of my right heel, just below my ankle bone.

Three hours, and four stitches later, I was contemplating, the possibility of purchasing only one sock, since one of mine, not only has a small cut in it, it also has absorbed a lot of blood.

I have closed the blade on my multitool, which had a bloodline approximately, 3/4 of an inch from the tip, and have practiced passing it from one hand to the other several times.
For some reason, I have received very little sympathy, and the medical staff, found my story quite amusing. My main dilemma, besides the sock issue, is that with the antibiotics I was prescribed, I am unable to take my normal liquid pain killer.
