Answers:

Believe it or not the bottom of the foot is one of the tenderest parts of the body. And a puncture wound like that will hurt like a son-of-a-gun. With out looking at it I can't be sure but, I would be willing to say that you got all the glass out. The hole you see is the punture wound healing itself from the inside out. You may want to try warm foot soaks with epsom salts or a little hydrogen peroxide to make sure it stays clean and infection free. If you notice any abnormal swelling and/or redness, get to a Dr. Hope all goes well for you.
