a broken needle with white thread.
I quickly realized that the other half of the needle was in my foot.
I tried getting it out but this was no splinter. I slept and then early this morning went into my ankle surgeon. He took x-rays and there was the other half of the needle-deeply imbedded in my foot.
Here's the You Won't Believe This! part; Are you ready? Are you sitting down yet? Okay! I warned you.
I HAVE TO HAVE SURGERY TOMORROW ON MY LEFT FOOT TO REMOVE A LOST NEEDLE!
(opposite foot of the ankle surgery fame)
I just started laughing and then I needed to throw up!
So...tomorrow is surgery...for a needle...that is lost in my foot...that will put me down for a few weeks...WAIT!!!!! I've already done this!
Wish me luck folks because this is getting old :) (I'll make sure to take pictures just so I can post the EWWWW! factor of this exciting mess.)

Oh Chari, that sounds painful!! Oh, by the way, I'm Tara. I too have a slew of kids, but was not called to homeschool. But I do have some really great stories and will follow yours as well. I added you to my list of great blogs! Thanks for sharing!
If this was back in the olden days they'd slap a piece of back fat or bacon on your foot, tie it up with gauze and the next morning the broken part of the needle would be laying on the fat back or the bacon. It draws out splinters, glass slivers and broken needles.
But good luck with your surgery.

Only you...
