    Shop injuries (Kinda gross) ...

    A few years back I was drilling a peg out of a pearl with a drill
    bit, it slipped and went into my thumb.  did not hurt all that much
    but over the course of 3 years it left a hard lump in my thumb and
    was hard for judging pressure.  Then the Christmas 3 years later it
    started to swell, and it swelled over the course of a month to twice
    the size of my thumb, making it hard to work, so I finely went to the
    dr, and they sent me to get an x-ray, but it sowed nothing. Then
    being an x sailor I started messing with it, and one night late I got
    up the nerve to pumture it and a very thick white stuff came out, and
    in large quanitys.  then I squeezed it real hard and something popped
    up and went back in when I relieved pressure, I got the pliers and
    squeezed once more and this time when it popped up I grabbed it with
    the pliers and pulled it out, what it was, was 1/2 of a cartridge
    kind of sphere, so I went after the other half and got it 
    also. now I am left with a small scare but no lump
