Here's the scoop. It doesn't really hurt right now, because of the anesthetics they put on it and then in it. The doctor cut off about a 1/8" piece of the whole nail along the inside of the toenail (the right side). This is the toe that was damaged last year (I believe I wrote about that). The whole nail eventually fell off and it grew back really crazy. I asked if this was going to take care of it from here, forward, and he said "It depends on how it grows back this time." So we'll have some follow-ups. I have one in 2 weeks, but I don't know what that will tell him. I guess mostly checking for infections and proper healing. I was given a document of care procedures to do myself.

It doesn't hurt now, but I'm starting to feel it. The procedure was done about 9:30 and it's 11:20 now. They gave me Motrin, and I hope that's all I'll need.

Had both son's big toes done and they put some stuff where they removed a part to stop it from growing back, and it worked.

Still dealing with trim...almost the never ending story. :facepalm:

Brunch time!

It's OK. I took some Motrin just now, to try to stay ahead of it. It says "Take with food." It's 600mg Ibuprofen. Is one hard boiled egg enough food? :?:

I guess he'll watch it, and if they need to put something there to stop it from growing back, they will.

They gave me an open-toed shoe kind of thing with Velcro straps. It's a nice shade of blue and looks much like a tennis shoe or walking/jogging shoe. As the Nurse was strapping it on, I said "I only get one? What if I have to go to Walmart?"

I said that because I was thinking the other day that I never see people that look like the Walmart freaks in the pictures you see. Then it hit me... What if they're there, but I don't notice them, because I'm one of them?
:shock:

:lol: :lol: :lol:

I had the laser surgery on mine (beats a broad sword:blink:), it was cool to watch, but it took almost two years for the toes to look normal again. But I haven't had an ingrown in the 15 years since. I hope yours heals perfect.

:lol:

We are doing the kitchen, a walk in area to the kitchen which is the size of a small room, both bathrooms, and the entry area by the front room. This is going to take a while.

Oh Wow!!! I thought it was just one room, like the kitchen.

I don't envy all that work. :laugh: Been there, done that. 8-o

Hey strider. :)

Everyone that has had this done tells me it takes a long time after losing a toenail and it growing back for it to look normal again. Mine is crazy thick and curved very high. I'll be good with that as long as it doesn't come back ingrown. :D

You didn't say if there was something more Regal to call you. :laugh: Is strider OK?

Yes, normal growth is all that matters.

Sure, nobody calls me Elessar anyways :rolleyes:

Audience this, procuring mithril mining rights that, but nobody or nothing interesting :yawn:...

It depends on familiarity...those who call me friend use various endearing monikers, those who don't use the full title.
