Tell my foot it is a myth.
7 days in the hospital saving my foot.
Stepped on a screen door screen wood strip with a rusty little nail in it.
Lifted my foot an the wood strip lifted with it. It bleed a little. My wife cleaned it with peroxide. Next day went to the emergency room, MRI showed what looked like a small ball inside my foot. Doctor cut it open and drained it. Me being diabetic they kept me in there and kept a close eye on it so I wouldn't lose my foot. IV with lots of antibiotics.

That sucks and was probably quite scary. Did the doctor diagnose tetanus? As you well know, diabetics can suffer from foot problems like vascular and nerve damage. That would definitely require precautions for any infection in your foot and keeping you in for observation was definitely the best choice. Glad to hear it worked out.
