Judging from the first picture, Pills, you may have to keep an eye on that penetration site as that's a coated nail. Most nail guns shoot nails that are coated with a glue, that as the nail passes through the wood, the glue heats up and glues it into place. I don't know if they have changed the glue in the last few years, but when I put a 3 inch staple in my leg back in 1998, the site got infected from the coating on the nail. Just something to watch out for. Now, I am sure they have you on antibiotics, so that shouldn't be a problem, unless you are allergic to the glue like I was. I hope you get better fast buddy!

Hey, you get MAJOR kudos for posting the pics..... I would have let you guys suffer!!! LOL
I didn't know about the glue until I saw the pic, just something to be careful of. Your antibiotics should do the trick, just keep an eye on it.

*shudder* 
:shock:
When I put that 3 inch staple in my leg a few years ago, I pulled the thing out myself. I didn't have any insurance so I didn't go to the hospital. The only good thing is that I have meaty legs from years of playing soccer and the staple itself was as sharp as 2 needles. I have never shot myself with a nail gun per se, but I would hate to do so.
Pills fast recovery my friend!
