So I pulled it out, then it started bleeding. Thank God it did not hit the bone or I would have needed help it get free. At least it was a clean wound. Now it is just numb, after two days.
I did the very same thing a couple of months ago. i got the needle out alright and did not get blood on the piece I was sewing. Boy it smarts badly when to do that. I hope you are alright and the pain passes quickly.
