Scroll down 2 posts. See that blister? That photo was taken just after finishing my morning run on Saturday. By Saturday night, there was SO MUCH PRESSURE in that bugger, that I couldn’t take it anymore. I had to perform a slight medical procedure on my foot.
Here’s the painful culprit about to be lanced:
I hacked at it with the point of a little scissors. But after 6-8 chucks were removed, I hadn’t gotten to the juice; I had only gotten part way through the callus over the blister:
Notice some chucks in the lower left.
I knew what I had to do.
I had to go in FULL FORCE.
I took the tip of the scissors...
I braced myself...
And I stabbed that little sucker HARD.
There was some
Good News and some
Bad News.The good news: I did NOT get “blister juice” all over the bathroom...
The bad news: ...because it all landed on my face.
I swear on all that is holy that the above photo was NOT staged. That little sucker squirted me right across my face, directly over my glasses. A weaker man would have puked. I just grinned in disbelieve. “Wow, that DID just happen...”
I wiped up the mess and drained the blister:
It felt SO much better, and I woke up the next day feeling GREAT!
Anyone need a doctor?
(p.s. 6 pm. Tonight. Metrodome. Run with me.)
Ewwwwww!!! I just threw up in my mouth. That's disgusting. Why not use a needle or something? Ouch! At least you relieved the pressure... :-p
ReplyDeleteThat is AWESOME!!! I love stuff like that for some reason. I'm glad you shared!
ReplyDeleteAdmit it, you loved popping your pimples as a kid, didn't you?
ReplyDelete1) Is it worse that you actually post this, or that I enjoy reading it? Haha.
ReplyDelete2) Or is it worse that I do the same thing?
3) Needles work well. Smaller hole from insertion.
You should shave your toes.
ReplyDeleteEwwwww! That is so disgusting. You know how pictures are worth a 1000 words? Yours are always worth at least 100,000!!! Haha. And your pictures are so damn clear. What camera do you use???
ReplyDeleteHoly Crap.
ReplyDeleteYeah the blister stuff is a little off, but....
how long are your toe hairs?
Those could be used to build rope bridges in South America.
Admit it, at least SOME of that juice landed in your mouth, right?
ReplyDeleteSo what does blister juice taste like? I imagine it being very salty.
Alright. First I was too distracted by the sight of a monkey on your big toe that I missed the blister altogether.
ReplyDeleteTHEN, I see blister juice that found its way onto your glasses.
I'm done with breakfast.
You should have made the title: Do NOT Read if You Plan on Eating EVER Again!
ReplyDeleteDoesn't the relief of popping a blister feel great? But seriously dude, that is gross. Really disturbring. :)
ReplyDeleteewwwwwwwwwwwwwww
ReplyDeleteWhy are people so freaked out about a little body hair? But will pay to have surgery to replace hair in one specific place -- the top of their head? Strange.
ReplyDeleteRegardless -- those ARE some extra long toe hairs. Wear them with pride.
In all fairness, you did warn us... but EW!
ReplyDeleteMan, that was almost like a porn scene.
ReplyDeleteYou're exploiting that toe! You should be ashamed.
Just... wow. I haven't even had breakfast yet. I can't believe the amount of stuff that came out of that! It almost makes me want to get a blister so I can lance it to see. Also - next time Pharmie shaves your back, let her do your toes too!
ReplyDeleteThe picture of the glasses is priceless. That is awesome. Now I wont eat the rest of the day. I called you out on my blog again. Just thought you should be aware.
ReplyDeleteAt least you had glasses on! How do you explain the blister juice to the eye to the doctor at the walk-in clinic...I'm blinded by blister juice?
ReplyDeleteI have such a love/hate relationship with the internet.
ReplyDeleteMONEY SHOT!!!!! ;)
ReplyDeleteyoure a sick sick man.
ReplyDeleteI think I just threw up in my mouth.
ReplyDeleteYour feet look like a hobbit's.
ReplyDeleteShave the foot hair, wookie.
Well, therein lies the reason some of us nurses wear glasses or face shields for wound care.
ReplyDeleteI should probably advise you to leave an intact blister alone, but I can't keep from hacking at my own, so I will leave that one alone.
Inquiring minds DO want to know why the "blister juice" on your glasses looks purple when it should be a nice clear serous fluid? Did you stain it with grape koolaid for dramatic effect??
I'm not sure that "Run Fatboy Run" was supposed to be your role model for foot care.
ReplyDeleteJust wait until you cut the dead skin off. I gross my family out when I try showing them.
ReplyDeleteLOL!!
Dude, the toe hair is more distressing than the blister juice. :)
ReplyDeleteWOWOWOW!!! I am totally going to request that they let you in the O.R. when it's time for my ankle surgery! Great Job Dr. Speedo!
ReplyDeleteHmmm.. ahem.. hmm.. this is lovely ! I have to admit this is the first time I have visit your blog and needless to say that I was quite impressed with the first post. (I just had lunch awhile ago.)
ReplyDeleteI am now haunted with my own memories of my first powerful zit I ever had when I was 13 years old. The projectile erupted with a speed of 100+ mph right onto the mirror.
Do I need to go any further?
Dude, you need to set up a little booth saying The doctor is in!!! Then procede to pop each and every blister that comes your way!!! It can be a very rewarding experience!!!
ReplyDeleteI would let you pop my .........
Yeah, i'll leave that one alone!!!
I am literally gagging right now. I love my own blisters, but after being up close and personal w/another's....I only want to love my own.
ReplyDeleteGross! (And by gross I mean great.)
SICK! The glasses photo is especially classic.
ReplyDeleteActually, I thought the hair on your toe was more gross than the blister until I saw the glasses. You must be quite flexible to get that close to your foot!
ReplyDeleteHave you ever popped a pimple and it squirts onto the mirror? That is very gratifying as well :-)
ReplyDeleteROFLMAO!!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for that, Steve.
Freakin' hilarious.
Oh my.....I guess I've found out how to lose the weight from my cruise....just open this particular blog entry and stare for 5 minutes. No more hunger. Ever. ;)
ReplyDeleteI had to do 90 pull ups at crossfit today. Needless to say the blisters I had on my hands after 57 pull-ups turned into raw, bloody, boo boos. But that's crossfit.
ReplyDeleteWow. It was like a train wreck, I couldn't help but stare. I am glad you got relief.
ReplyDeleteThat just so totally grossed me out. Thanks so much!!
ReplyDeleteGross!
ReplyDeleteLife imitates art. See "Run, Fatboy, Run." Real life is WAY grosser.
ReplyDeleteholy moses.
ReplyDeleteOMG! Totally gross!!!
ReplyDeleteblisters suck. ive gotten one in the same spot so many times now its a callous and im proud of it.
ReplyDeleteeuwwwwww in the face. thats nasty!
LOL! Totally Cool and Totally Nasty at the same time.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good gross outs for us.
Dude - you have THE hairiest toes I have ever seen. (This, from a guy with hairy toes.) Stay warm!
ReplyDeleteHi Steve
ReplyDeleteThat could be my foot as I've had a few of those.
Have a great holiday.
Your feet look horrible. I think you need to go to the local running store and get fit for Superfeet over the counter orthotics. This way, you would not get so many darned blisters! Ugh...
ReplyDeleteI thought this actually way back when you had that cat toe in you're shoe...seriously. You should not be getting so many blisters...and callouses.!!
Go to the nearest Fleet Feet ASAP...or someone just as good.
OMG! I LOVE it!! I also post pics of my blisters...but thankfully none of them exploded on my face! That's gross!
ReplyDeleteOk, that is S-I-C-K! But I love it! Your blister juice splashed onto your glasses, my god, this stuff can't be made up, only YOU! Only YOU! Ha!
ReplyDeleteDude, you are the KING of too much information.
ReplyDeleteSince you brought it up, my Mrs. loves to pop a good back pimple. Always able to puss her in the face. Yeah, TMI, I know, but you started it!
