RE: Taking CAT-5 installation too far?

["Sean" <groups@xxxxxxx>]

We could start a whole new gross thread here. I pulled a bit of glass
out of my foot a few years back that was under what looked like a veruka
(sp?). I reckon it had been in there a few years, Hobby knifes are fine
and scalpels are ok as well but for a real decent job a dissecting kit
is the biz (a good few shots of whiskey helped as well)

I did have something similar happen me but with a glass splinter...
Disappeared for a few weeks and then most of my finger decided it would
rather be outside the skin ;-)
Ended up with a lump similar to yours which had to be cut off...

Very technical procedure...
They bung an elastic band round your finger and then inject the
anaesthetic
(btw: having a needle inserted into my finger tip has to be the most
painful
thing I have every experienced). After your all numbed up they cut it
off -
I didn't see what they used but I reckon that it could have been a
potato
peeler...

After they (eventually) stop the bleeding, depending on the size of hole
they've left, they get the soldering iron thing to it...
The smell of your own flesh burning isn't the nicest thing in the world
either...!

Enjoy your lunches...!

Andy.
