This post has nothing to do with Splinter Cell. But this guy sure is in for a world of hurt...
A couple of days ago I was walking barefoot on the carpet when I felt a really sharp pain in my toe. Close inspection showed it to be some sort of sharp debris; it looked like a piece of metal shaving. I pulled on it using some tweezers, and it came out. Imagine my surprise when later, I felt another sharp pain. I looked again but couldn't see anything. However, upon closer inspection, I saw that a small piece remained, and it had gone deeper.
So I started to slowly pick away at the skin, going progressively deeper. It got to the point where it was painful just to touch it, let alone probe it with a needle. Anyway, I continued this over the course of two days (because on my first try, I was spending WAY too much time on it), and finally, it came out.
It's still a little painful to walk on, but hopefully in a couple of days it'll be ready to go.
