The needle went into the hole in the center of the nail, broke off, dh pulled the shank piece out the hole, eye part was stuck in the pad, pulled that one out, missing 1/4" part of needle. went I pulled the finger out of the machine, the broken part scored the nail open.

Emergecny room cost big bucks with my insurance, tomorrow I am going to my doc for a tetanus shot and pain pills. it is a thumping. I did not bleed on the strip though, typing is hard. I went back and finished the strips, cannot iron. Did anyone ever do this? any infection? how long to heal??
