Hi Gabz, how's your ankle?

I did a good one to myself yesterday. all these years of using nail guns I have never shot myself. Well that ended yesterday, I shot a 3 1/2 inch spike into my foot.

Picture where the spike went thru the feet of Christ, that is where my spike went it. Didn't go through the otherside but went in all the way.

It hurts like the dickens, didn't hurt when I did it at all so I didn't hit a bone.
Stupid.

OMG - Rus.............Just thinking about that hurts like the dickens......... I assume your tetnus shots are up to date?

My ankle has good days and not so good days. Today did not start out as a good day, I didn't realize the dog was in the bedroom and she banged into me as I was getting off the bed....talk about seeing stars.

I know what I have been meaning to ask you........How is your wife doing?

Rus! I just read the ping that LadyX sent letting us know that you had hurt your foot with that huge spike. I am so sorry--I will ask like Gabz, are your shots up to date? (I didn't read through the whole thread).

That had to really be sooooo painful. Plus the pain to your ego that it happened at all...sorry, couldn't resist that! :o)

How long will it have you down? Take care of yourself.

So glad the nail missed the bone. Did you pull it out with your needle nose plyers?

Ouch!Sorry to hear that, Russ. Hope it heals rapidly.

I read a few months back where a woman zapped herself in the forehead with one. She was fine. Amazing.
