Wow, so what exactly did you step on? A nail? Sure seems they were extra worried about it.
I stepped on a nail when I was like 12. The next day I was in so much pain at school the teacher looked at it and was actually shocked as hi face turned sour looking.
I knew my foot was a bit colored and sore, but the look on his face scared ,me more than my foot.
He called my Mom, and she showed up in a cab. He carried me from the class to her car and off to the OR I went.
They gave me a tetanus shot and sent me home. I was fine the next day as I recall. This was back in 1968.
So my prayers are with you and let’s both keep our fingers crossed for the Vikes.
God bless you. I understand people cannot get back right away at times.

Not only did I step on the nail but I stepped hard enough for it to hit the bone. When I looked after I did it I had clear liquid seeping from the puncture wound. From what I hear now that is bad. I guess that if an infection gets to the bone it spreads very quick, so they treat it very aggressively. In my case they did surgery to open it up, clean it out, and pack it so it can drain.
I do know that my 5 sons are hanging their heads in shame that their mom was out cleaning up the yard and that is when she stepped on the nail. I should have lots of points when I get home and maybe even never have to clean up the yard ever again.
