Home Surgery/BB in my foot

Most BBs are steel and attracted to a magnet. A doctor likely could have inserted a magnetic tool through a pinhole incision and removed it with little surgery.

 

Yes this method was discussed pre surgery. I even have some Neodymium magnets at my house that would be strong enough. The problem was that the BB was in my foot so long that a large amount of scar tissue had built up around it. The BB + tissue was about the size of a small marble. All of the scar tissue was attached to my foot meat, so the magnet couldn't have pulled out the entire mass without ripping lots of foot meat with it. A large cut was needed no matter what.

 

With the right equipment (ultrasound or x-ray), the bb could be located and a deep narrow incision could be made. That would have left the scar tissue behind though.

Anyhow, hope your foot is doing alright.

In a somewhat related matter, on TV I saw the woman who was injured in the blast outside a family planning clinic down south believed to have been done by Eric Rudolph. She has bb size metal pieces in her arms and face from the bomb. She took a magnet and passed it over her arm. You could see all the little pieces of embedded metal pulling her skin up as the magnet passed by. Terrible. The officer who looked into the bag containing the bomb was killed.

 

Sample:

 

ummmmmm....did it hurt?

 

There was a slight tickling...

 

how far was it in there

 

It was nestled against the bone, surrounded by about a 1/4" of scar tissue on the skin side.

 

Way to take it like a man. I hope you used lots of soap or some kinda disinfectant, that could get nasty...

 

holy shit, that was gross. lol, i don't have a weak stomach generally, but that almost made me barf up my bagel.


lol, the only thing my friends do when they get drunk is puke and pee their pants. i can't say that i have ever been approached to assist anyone with any sort of surgical procedure, while sober, much less drunk.

well, congrats on a successful (if bizarre,) surgery.

 

Well i'm not sure if its successful yet. This bad boy is gonna take a while to heal.

I peed my pants while drunk a few years back but only because I was too loaded to get my pecker out in time...hahahahaha

Sorry about the almost barfing a bagel...

 

Show us this BB, please!! I'd like to see how something so small could get so huge (you said the size of a marble?)

Those pictures are pretty gruesome, I don't understand why you never ended up passing out.

 

you operated....on yourself....at home....while drunk?

YOU ARE THE MAN. even though this wasn't (in all honesty )the smartest thing to do, I congratulate you for having the guts(or just being drunk enuff) to do it. and I'm so glad that you didn't have to lose your foot/leg/life due to gangrene or any kind of massive infection or blood loss. .... and BTW kids, just say "NO" to drugs and alcohol!

 

I've got the BB in a small Horseradish jar in rubbing alcohol right now. It's still the same size, it was the scar tissue around it that was the size of a small marble. Passing out is for pussies.

Yes us Jersey rednecks are a force to be reckon'd with. There are Pine Barren rednecks (Pineys) & Northwestern (Sussex County Folk) that are just like Pineys but educated. I'm Northwestern. haha

And the Jack Daniels was for anestethic purposes only...not to get drunk! yee ha!

Disclaimer: I still can't recommend anyone else doing this though...

 

Pre-op:

 

when do we get to see the video?

 

All I have so far is a 30 second sample that one of my co-surgeons snagged on his Sureshot. It's an AVI, 18 MB, and my server doesn't stream so you'll probably have to download the file first. For some reason the only player that'd work is Quicktime(probably because Canon uses a series jpeg instead of standard AVI, but thats not important). No Windows Media, no Winamp etc. The final will be on DVD of course @_@

Anyway, if you listen to my voice you can tell the amount of Jack that was consumed because in no way do I normally sound that slurry & high pitched...my voice is much deeper and manly...heh heh

There isn't any digging/cutting in this clip either.

Either way, view at your own risk.

Also, I think it was Ray Charles off of Netscape Radio in the background if anyone is curious...

Clip

 

Forgot to mention, the full video is delayed because over an hour of DV tape just won't fit on my drive to edit... another co-surgeon has a spare 3-pack of 80 GB drives and I'm going to snag one to install in my system just to capture/edit the video...

damn surgery videos.

 

Wow!

You get the prize! You are screamingtoast.com's Manly Man of the Month! (>click here<) Congratulations!

If you would like, I would be happy to host your videos on my page, lemme know.

Hope you're healing well.

p.s. I just started the page, but there should be some content soon.
