I just stabbed myself in the foot with a gardening fork!

A big fork and at full speed.

Owwwwwww - serves me right for trying to cram one more second of gardening into the day.

sorry to hear about your foot. be more careful. here where we are we have some lights rigged up to help see at night . but we still have to be careful and watch out for the snakes.

:ep Oh my goodness. I hope you are alright :hugs I know that hurts, been there done that type of thing. :th Be sure to keep antibiotic on it and if it was deep you may have to stay off of it a while. I certainly hope it heals quickly.

Be very, very careful with that wound, I know someone who ended up with blood poisoning from a similar wound. As others have said, make sure you're up to date on your tetanus shot and keep it very clean!
