Home Surgery/BB in my foot

A while back before the forums had their new look...I posted a thread describing how I had a BB in my foot for the last 14 years and if anyone wanted to see the pics of the inital extraction attempt that failed....to keep checking in and I'd post 'em...

I never tracked down the pics, I think they're backed up on tape somewhere, and I'm still trying to track them down.

But last friday (7-9-4), the BB was extracted completely this time and there is full video of the entire 1 hour+ process. Of course I can't recommend doing this at your home, but what's done is done and the edited video will be surfacing soon.

I'm in the process of editing the tapes and getting all of the grissliness digitized, so if anyone is a gore freak theres some really original material coming soon...

If anyone wants to toss some suggestions for background movie music/sounds that'd be grand. All I'm thinking so far is Dead Kennedy's 'Plastic Surgery Disasters'

And once again...I can't recommend home surgery to anyone else. The blood loss was phenomenal and I was laid up for 3 days because of it....but that BB is in a jar on my nightstand now instead of my foot.


Thanks,

GEO

 

Home surgury? I wouldn't really trust that, that's eerie.

 

Still shot sample 1...(88 hours after the surgery):




Still shot sample 2...(160 hours after the surgery):





The redness has been taken care of with massive doses of Vitamin B(all numbers) & a steady diet of Iron laden veggies & other goodness to combat infection. All is well now in footland.


The weird lines on my foot are from the adhesive from the bandages & such....

 

Holy shit! Why the fuck would you do that to yourself??? I think I'm going to puke.... what if it gets infected? What's all that shit hanging out? Why didn't you go to a doctor??? AAGH! *faint*

 

yicky, but it was sucessfull so ya musta done somethhing right!!
​

 

Sexy......

 

you must have just turned insane cause if it was in there for 14 years without causeinga lot of problems, why would you suddenly try to take it out
thats just stupid

 

wtf, home surgery. how deep was the BB in your foot? did you just cut it open or what? how did you do this? i can't stop looking, its really intriguing...

 

Wow, My BB gun couldn't puncture shit. Thats like a 'nam' wound.

Hah, it takes a special kinda person to appreciate that political-linux joke in you sig... the kind that'll never ever have real friends. Good luck with the foot.

 

All the funky shit hanging out of it is the scar tissue that built up over the last 14 years around the BB. I was under the impression from all of the medical literature that I read that the build up would be calcium deposits adhered to the BB itself. Not so and this wasn't discovered until the initial cutting.

No infection. But I did have a hard time explaining to the work folk why I needed to wear flip flops to not put pressure on the side of my flipper...

It was a long evening....the video shall explain it all...

 

Full story:


14 years ago(1989-1992) I lived in Bushkill, PA, USA, in the middle of nowhere, with thousands of acres of land to play on...

Me Mum was an Old Grand Dad drinkin' firearms totin' bad ass who'd let us target practice with the rifles responsibly...

I took matters into my own hands, got a BB rifle and invited some pals up for some target practice. A fellow chump & I decided to set up some bottles, pick them off 1 by 1 for fun, and all was going well, until...

I shot a bottle, the glass shattered and hit my bro in the chest and he fell forward after the impact after giving 10 pumps into the BB rifle and 'accidentally' fired the round into my foot from about 8 feet away.

Pain...

At first I thought the BB hit the bone and bounced out...so I didn't go to the doctor because a puncture wound isn't that serious, as long as you keep it clean. Add in the fact that I had no insurance & such back then so home healing seemed like the right choice. Over the next 3 - 5 days, the foot swelled, I couldn't walk, you name it.

When the swelling went down and the skin had healed over, I realised the BB was still lodged in my foot. I went with it and never got it taken out. Over the next decade or so, I would pull out the BB laden foot as a party favor, saying such things as, "touch the BB, you know you want to!" and dumb crap like that...

The big problem was that any time someone stepped on my foot or I bumped it hard on a desk, chair, table, etc....the BB would immediately impact into the bone in my foot causing excruciating pain. Not a fun thing to deal with for over 10 years...but for some reason I never went to have it removed(not sure why even though a fellow I've known for a few years now has access to Novacaine & scalpels if my not going was doctorphobia...).

7-9-4 rolls around, and it seemed to be a normal night, until we closed the local ginmill and got back to the pad. Everyone was all whiskey'd up, having a good old time, until I happened to slam my motherfucking BB/foot on the leg of a hardwood chair...

This was the deciding factor that made me rally the troops...camera man Dan, Nurse Danielle & backup surgeon James...you name it, they covered it...like the damn team that takes care of shit on the surgery channel...

I've got a well equipped shop with every cutting instrument imaginable, and we gathered it all and extracted the BB from the foot in every cutting, hacking, bite a fucking dowel pain inducing way you can imagine...it was absolutely exhilarating to get this 14 year fucking leach out of my foot...

Pain can be put aside...but I once again cannot recommend anyone ever do this...the loss of blood was nothing to toy with.



Thats my gut spill

*****Blech, puke, agh!******



you're a brave man. kudos. Ugh..... :&

 

fucking awesome story man, hell yea.lol. i dunno if i would be able to do that.

 

I guess it was a surgery of passion then. Still probably should've gone to the doctor though.

 

Indeed...if anything like this ever comes up again I'll hit the doc up or refer the sufferer to said...

There's just something that always intrigued me about dragging a regular razor across the skin with just enough pressure to release the foreign object that lies underneath.... heh heh

Wait for the video....

 

thats pretty interesting.. hmmmmmm? i dont see where you have said if it was numbed up?

Looks to me like you are going to have one gnarley ass scar.


lol.....no offense and I am not saying this directed towards you by any means.. but this home surgery shit reminds me of something a tweaker would do.

 

My friends little brother had a BB in the top of his head once. It was like right at the top of his forehead. It was one of the funniest things I have ever seen. He left it in for a couple of days and then had it removed. I'm looking forward to that video.

 

The numbing was taken care of with whiskey...lots & lots of whiskey. I already had a gnarly scar from the initial shooting so I'm not too concerned with that except for I'll never be listed in 'Better Feet & Gardens' hahaha

Tweaker as in Meth head? I never touch the stuff. But yeah I can see what you're saying...this isn't a recurring occurance...just a 1 timer. It's just not the logicalway.

 

Down in the depths of my untapped male machoism resevoir there's something that stirs up a deep admiration for your display of sheer, raw, and drunken manly potency. However, down in the depths of my quite full and overwhelmingly sissybitch stomach, there stirs an even deeper admiration for a man's ability to vomit. Ergo, I will now purge myself of this admiration accordingly.
Guns don't kill people. Home surgery does.

 

cool ...the video sounds awesome...good job "DR. logicalway"
