Dropped a glass storage thing.

Good news is I was doing well enough to clean it up.

But, didn't get them all.

Got one in and out but that foot steill feels pain.

Other foot still has a sliver of glass in it.

NO tweezers in the house. NO finger nails.

Wondering if I soak the feet in something when able to get back up if that will work.

I'll do a web search in a bit. For now exhausted.

Kam-do you have epsom salt?

Sometimes soaking a splinter in epsom salt water helps to draw the splinter out.

Can you soak your feet in epsom salt solution?

Also call a neighbour or friend to help you get the splinters out?

Ouch!

Got it. I used two plastic like cards..used gift cards I had around the apartment.

But, now the piece of glass is in my bed somewhere and I can't find it.

I do plan on soaking my feet too when I am not so wweak and exhausted.
