*Warning to Readers--This Entry is Kinda Gross*
I've had an infected toe for quite some time. The doctors have warned me several times that antibiotics weren't going to fix everything. So today they cut off my toenail. I'd post a before and after picture except the before picture is pretty nasty looking and the after picture doesn't look much better.
Did you know they inject anesthesia directly into the toe? I've never had five shots in my toe before. Not particularly comfortable. It was better than slamming it in a car door but not as pleasant(?!) as donating blood. I'm just trying to keep my readers informed in case you need to have it done.
The doctor told me to go barefoot or wear sandals until everything heals. Yeah, that's likely in freezing weather. Plus, who wears sandals in January??

Just do it.
Doctor's orders.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeewwww!
(Although I guess it would have been even grosser (is that derived from the German word for "big", by the way?) if he had cut off the entire toe - which I kind of was expecting after the title) :)
