Crap. I just pulled out two more pieces. There's probably more in there. I'm going to try cutting more nail away and wrapping it up in a drawing salve coated bandage again.

Ahhhh sounds worse as it goes along now... ? Thanks for extra cup here

I drove a Phillips tip driver through my thumb nail. It's still a little wonky to this day. I'd rather do that again than a splinter under the nail.

My Mom taught sewing as a 4-H leader. Each year at least one student sewed a finger!

Morning Ron how things there this morning

Morning!
DL, I hope that splinter moves out today!
Our snow is melting and compressing. DS$ does flips and rolls off of the deck railings so I guess there is one person that has a tolerable time in the snow. The plow came through yesterday afternoon and gave us a road back so really, it is just fine if we needed to go somewhere interesting.
Enjoy the day. I am going to transfer my Sam's club blueberry rescues into pots today and put them in the greenhouse. Maybe I can plant in June...

You will be busy!

I went to our neighborhood walmart and did the weekly shopping. It was not too bad today but they still did not have rye flour.

I will work on the backyard a bit today too

I had bought some Amish Paste seeds, I planted about 6 seeds in miracle grow potting soil
Have it in the kitchen window see what it does ?

I wish that we could go the the Dr. again. I was checking out my big toe nails and it looks like I have something called psoriasis nails there. I do have scalp psoriasis and a bit abound the nose. I get it in my ears too.

This is likely what is causing the arthritis in my knee, hip and fingers. They like to test for gout and rheumatoid arthritis to rule those out though and you can't do that if you can't get to a Dr.!

Very right about that I was tested for Rheumatoid arthritis none in the family ... My psoriasis
was listed as plaque.. It has tried to come back.. I have a salve Triamcinolone Acetonide cream from Doc to use as it tries and has stopped it so far

No. It still hurts especially when I touch it. It's not like I'm trying to. I was putting the coffee filters back when I knocked it against the edge of the shelf and it looks right up.
I'm hoping that now that the irritant is out it will start to heal.

Was going to ask if you had slathered it with drawing salve or antibiotic ointment when I saw your next post. Keep that crap working its way out.

thanks for the coffee Shad - I've made lardy cake if anyone wants some...

indeed, how is the splinter today DL? better, I hope, but if it is getting inflamed, that snow could cool it nicely...

it's brightening up again here, after the first proper rain for a month yesterday. My little salad seedlings are popping up all over, and the peas have poked their heads out of the soil; I just need to keep the chickens, slugs and bunnies off them all now!

I forgot about the great British slug problem. I hardly ever see one here. Chicken damage on the other hand is an ongoing problem.
