EEEEWWWWWWWWWWW

My toe nail FINALLY grew back from my injury back in July. (remember when my big toe nail was ripped off?) Well, it grew back kind of funny and it was totally ingrown on one side-- all swollen and filled with puss. The doctor (and Google) said that trauma to a nail can cause irregular growth. So, today, I went to the podiatrist and he numbed me (shots in the toe hurt like hell since your finger tips and toes are so sensitive). Then, he dug out the side and killed the nerves so it won't grow back. I am in some major pain. Major, major pain. This hurts worse than it did when my nail ripped off. Ouchy.

This will give you an idea of what was wrong, and what they did to fix it.

If you are interested, you can see the procedure here, although I caution you, it ain't pleasant.


And then, something else totally yucky!

A couple night ago, we had breakfast for dinner at my parents. Don't you just love eating breakfast for dinner? Yum! My sister said the syrup on her pancakes tasted funny. James said it tasted fine to him. Then he looked at his plate and said, "it probabaly tastes funny because there are tons of bugs in the syrup!" We all looked at him like "yeah, right" but when I looked at his plate, I knew he wasn't kidding. His plate was filled with bugs swimming in syrup. Gross. Do you know how glad I am that I chose then berry flavored syrup instead? My sister said she felt like things were crawling in her for the rest of the night. We're not sure how they got in, but I am so glad I didn't eat any!

Glad you didn't eat any bugs either~ How hungry was James?

Sorry for the pain in foot. Hopefully you will be better soon. You will need to be running around for last minute Christmas gifts and your big trip coming up. Will you be at the party at your moms??

OK. Eeew. I am going to have problems eating syrup for a long time now. But that's prolly a good thing.

My hubby had an ingrown toenail a while back and he had to have something similar done ... but he's like the most ticklish person in the world and he kept jerking his foot away when the nurse tried to alcohol swab him before she gave him the pain shot ... and finally he did it for her ... hehe.

OWWWIE!! You know its nutty but ingrown nails are one of my worst fears. Can you take any pain killers? I hope the pain doesn't last long.

I had an ingrown toenail in 8th grade. It was honestly one of the most painful things I've ever experienced. It was truly nasty.

I think I'm more grossed out by the bugs in the syrup than the ingrown toenail. Yuck! I hope your toe starts to feel better soon!
