successful surgery!

Ton was grumpy this morning, what with the splinter in her foot and finally getting over her sniffles and cough. She took a nice deep nap about 10am, and while she was konked out on the futon, I grabbed the surgical tweezers that P remembered I had in a med kit, fired up the white LED lantern, and went to work.
The superfine and sharp point of the tweezers made it easy; in a few seconds I snagged the splinter and slid it out. Given the relatively small size of Ton's foot, that was one big splinter!
When I removed it, it looked to be more like a thorn or something, not just a sliver of wood from the steps at the park like I originally thought.
Anyway either Ton will be less likely to want to run around barefoot, or more careful...or she'll completely forget about this.
