In needle in a foot

Last week I had a really bad cough and a pain in my foot, so I went into Urgent care for cough syrup and an x-ray. As I was walking back from my x-ray, the tech asked me if I had ever hurt my foot, or had surgery, because I had a wire or something in my foot! Turns out, I must have stepped on a needle as a kid, and it found a cozy spot in my foot and decided to stay.

I get to wear a cool surgical boot while I heal, but the needle is here to stay.
