Guest guest Posted June 26, 2000 Report Share Posted June 26, 2000 I can't think of any reason a tetanus shot should affect blood tests. http://www.ariess.com/s-crina/tests-bloodindex.htm didn't include tetanus shots on the list of factors that affect any of the tests mentioned there either. Having all the tests on one page makes searching easy. Hope Mike took care of all the protruding nails - wouldn't want to accidently follow Mike's example!

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2000 Report Share Posted June 27, 2000 thanks Tim, actually, what he did is put 1/4 inch nails in his back pocket and there was a hole in the pocket of his jeans, he then bent down to get something and whammo, just missed the achiles tendon, the Dr. gave him a shot and said the injury was 'brutal', another 1/4 inch and he may have needed surgery. Mike couldn't walk last night but after the initial bleed there was nothing...anyway, I sooked him up a bit last night, waited on him hand and foot (no pun intended), let him soak up the moment.....it's ALL OVER NOW......now we have to wait and see if there is any infection. thanks for the info...
