I never thought about a tetanus shot. I think I will go to the dr. next week and see if he can super glue it and get a tetanus shot at the same time. I haven't had a tetanus shot in over 30 years! And I do have more protection then the glove. I have the suction thingies (2 sizes) and a large plastic retangle with rubber balls on the bottom and a handle on the top. I totally forgot about those. Thanks for reminding me about using all the protection I can. You guys are wonderful and smart!
