Been yrs since I had one. If I remember correctly I had 3 in one year and haven't had any since.
They all hurt like it's a boulder, but the first 2 I didn't even know for sure when I passed them.
The last one was BIG and I put a glove on and dug it out and cleaned it off and saved it. My wife put it in a little corked topped glass vial and she ran across it recently so I measured it with digital calipers.
Never went to the Dr. Can't believe I was able to pass it. It measures 7.5 MM long and 5.65 MM wide. Gotta be pushing some kind of record, dang thing coulda killed me I think maybe. Ha. The one end comes to a sharp point that could be used as a box cutter. Good grief! Hurts just to look at it. Glad those times are over.
One is alone in a land so vast, there is only the mountains, the wind, and the eyes of God.
