No Dowding, not that at all. I was thinking about the time I dropped a .25 on the floor and it went off hitting me in the big toe and going through into the meat of my foot without hitting the bone complex. It was bad, but didn't really hurt until two days later when I went to the surgeon's office and a nurse probed the wound channel with a pick of some kind to locate the bullet. I couldn't see what she was doing. All I know is I was sitting there one second, and the next second I was seeing stars...that was the worst physical pain I ever felt in my life. I tend to pass out from needles, and that must have been a hell of a shot. Bullet penetrated completely through the big toe and travelled about 2" or so into the meaty bottom of my foot.
Anyway, the Doc was reluctant to remove the bullet, but did it at the hospital. (I went in there thinking he would do it in his office, and was preparing myself for the ordeal.)
Not exactly the kind of thing one is used to, and that's all I meant by my comments to Flossy. Did not mean to make or fuel a political discussion out of it, and if I have done so I sincerely apologize.
