    I too would have been one dead from a heart attack. Glad you made it out quickly (and safely). Hopefully others will learn from a simple mistake like this...me being on as I'm guilty for wearing sandles/clogs in the woods during summer!

    Glad you're OK. I've gone hunting (with a camera) for timbers twice and still haven't found one. What's your secret?

    Yeah not to be gross but a ton of fluid came out. It relieved so much pressure in my foot that the pain went down and I have much more mobility in my foot. It's amazing.

    Thank you so much for your prayers! Doing much better and healing fast. Foot is doing pretty well and the swelling is going down.
