wear gloves

When clearing grass in the bush, you should wear gloves.  Last January, yes nearly five months ago, I was gathering grass for our guinea pig and a large piece of grass inserted itself into my thumb.  It has been bothering me on and off and little slivers have been coming out since the incident.  Yesterday, a very large sliver worked itself out and I documented in photo form.

I'm hoping this is the last of the slivers and that I can have a "normal" thumb again.  I also hope I have learned my lesson and this doesn't happen again in the future!
