Sorry, Anne, but I've typed my answer about three times now in response to your question on my message wall and it's disappeared all three times, so will try and post here. Darn it anyway, there must be a black hole nearby...

Getting the fish hook in my foot was nothing compared to what you're going through! I have a long-winded theory about how it got in there, but won't bore you with that. Suffice it to say I felt a sharp pain in my foot, sat down and took my shoe off thinking I had gotten a staple in there somehow and tried to pull it out. That's when I noticed it was a fish hook, so got to the ER to have it taken out. It was on the far outer edge of the ball of my foot which is pretty tough, so as long as the hook didn't move, I didn't feel anything at all. The worst part was the local anesthetic the doctor gave me, but he cheered me up by saying that this was "the funnest thing" he had to do all morning long!

So no marks were left and I don't think it even bled. Couldn't even tell where the thing had gone in really. So nothing compared to what you've been going through. Hope that nothing serious or anything else is really damaged other than your bruising which is painful enough. Hope you feel better soon and send wishes for a speedy recovery!
