ouch that hurts!!!! I know from experience... when I was like7 I stepped ona needle. my mother pulled it out . but the dog jumped on her arm when she was doing it. Thinking she got it all I went to bed. The next morning I fell out of bed. the needle had hit a nerve and deadened my foot. they took a 6 inch slab of meat out to get the needle out of my foot. SHOES AT ALL TIMES IN MY SEWING ROOM..
