The way it was angled, I tried knocking it off but after three tries that didn't work anymore. I had to pry it off. I might have hollered and inadvertently taught my boys a curse word. Limped to truck and straight to Dr. office. They cleaned it, gave me a shot, tetanus shot, put me on antibiotics...couldn't hardly walk for a couple days.

Don't play..go to a doctor.



I'm sorry Mike but this made me laugh! I can just see your boy running to help daddy out with a 22 ounce Eastwing framing hammer to pull that nail out of your foot. I would have cussed a lot right then. Glad it worked out fine.
