I mentioned the day that I received a pretty decent puncture to my leg. After taking some time off due to the painful nature of walking, I returned to work ready to go. The wound did hurt but not any worse than a bruise. It tended to lock up, like a muscle cramp, if I remained stationary too long so l guess working is best. It also felt more than slightly uncomfortable when I squatted. Other than that, the only annoying aspect of it was that my boot constantly rubbed against it.
I remedied the problem with a piece of cardboard partially wrapped around the inside of my boot and secured with tape. It curved the boot outward and away from the punctured area.
Before lunch on the first day of sporting my improvised fashion statement, several of my co-workers had inquired about it, others were teasing me about my "pig bite" and some creatively modified my nickname to "Limpy". (Thanks "dude".)
And then there is Scott, who is always thinking of some creative gag who, while I was at lunch, scribbled "John's Bite Safety Shield" on the cardboard in my boot. Now that is how to pull a guys leg... hehe
