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.

UGH .. Glad you got it out of your foot... try some sticky tape to pick up the glass in the bed?? You might get lucky!!
