So far, foot still completely attached
No worries, kids. I did go see a doctor today. Of course, as soon as I made the appointment, my foot started looking much more normal. But for a $5 co-pay, I got the professional opinion of, yep, there's something in there but there isn't much we can do about it. So they gave me a prescription for an antibiotic to nip the weird stripey infection in the bud. I'm also supposed to soak my foot for 20 minutes twice a day, and this is supposed to help bring the glass to the surface because my body is trying to push it out anyway. Weird. If I think about that too hard it makes me think of my body as a giant Jell-o mold, and that's disgusting. Anyway, if that doesn't work, get this, I might have to go have a surgeon cut it out. This really all seems like a lot of hassle for a piece of glass I can't even see. But I guess my feet are useful and such. And it least I'm not worrying about it anymore. Now my only problem is figuring out how to take a pill every six hours without having to wake up in the middle of the night. Tricky, very tricky.
