I have given up and I suppose that I am learning to live with it. It is so far down inside there I fear it will never come out. I though perhaps I could try the vacuum cleaner.
It will fester and come out. Wood is too foreign to be ignored. If it begins to swell, or get red radiating from the wound, you need to get real help!
I wish I could help more, but distance conquers all....

Yes, don't worry, if it starts to look bad I will go to the hospital. There is no cost for medical care here so I don't have to worry about anything in that regard. I just wish that it would hurry up and get out of my body.
They just take the medical money out before you see it...the cost is always higher when the professional thieves get control of anything!
But I'm glad you have an option. I'd get it done so it doesn't interrupt your garden season!
Be safe, pulling for you!!!!

What do you mean they take the medical money out before I see it?
Last time I looked, over 60% of the total taxes collected in Canada, pays for medical costs. So 2/3rds of your taxes pays for the free medical fees!

That is not quite true. All social spending, including education, social security, child tax credit. and a host of other stuff makes up 3/5ths of total expenditures.
Social Spending for 2019
Health care costs about 4 to 6k per capita per year depending what province we live in. Our tax dollars cover that, and we are covered for everything no matter if we managed to pay that much in taxes or not. The govt also pays less per capita on healthcare than the USA does, Canada per capita =6k ish and USA = 13k ish. We also spend less of our GDP on healthcare than you guys do. Canada 10.8% and USA 16.8%
Per capita health spending
Your next comment might be OH you must pay a LOT of taxes! US and CDN taxes are similar. We pay about the same, depending on what province we live in. Lower income CDN people seem to pay less income tax than lower income people in the US. I was surprised about that last bit of info because I always assumed that Americans paid a lot less in taxes.
Making things easier on young families is the child tax credit which is a max benefit of about $6800 per year per child. Lower income parents get more, and upper income parents get less or even nothing if they are wealthy.
So really, the issue is not how much of our tax dollars are spent on healthcare, but how much are we getting in return for the taxes that we pay? And I know you have heard a lot of propaganda about how "terrible" Canada's healthcare system is. That simply is not true. It is actually pretty good. I wouldn't lie.
I wish you had the same system as it would make life easier for many people--like for the homeless people that I know you care very deeply about. It would also cost less for your govt than what they are doing now. Every other "1st world" nation pays almost half of what the US is paying for healthcare per capita.
The benefits of universal healthcare are huge, as well. A healthy population is better able to work and grow the economy.
The villains in all of this are the politicians that are getting kickbacks from medical insurance corporations that are making a killing off selling private medical insurance. Every single bureaucrat and politician worth their salt are fully aware of the economic and social benefits of universal healthcare, but they would rather let people suffer for---what reason?
Anyway, it is okay if you disagree with me, but I am relaying this info with š.
