I can now only count to 19 and a half.

Home from the doctor. Like the last time I had an ingrown toenail, she cut half of it off. Unlike last time, she put acid on it to kill the root so it won't grow back.

- It hurts a lot more than last time. It feels like it's on fire. OW.
- Yay it not growing back. Now I have just three potential spots for ingrown nails instead of four (I seem to only get them on the corners of my big toes).

I have to wear open-toed shoes for a week.

- I don't own a pair of open-toed shoes, other than flipflops (which would hurt like hell to put on). Luckily they gave me a throw-away open shoe-type thing. It's giant and ugly, but it'll work.

I'm so sick of doctors and appointments, and I still have so much I need to do. I'm supposed to see the dentist at the end of the month, same day my car has to go in (so one needs to be rescheduled). Cat has to go to the vet. I still need to see the therapist and get the sleep study done as requirements for my surgery, as well as attending another three hour information class one evening. I have to see the nutritionist five more times in the next five months. Not to mention near-weekly follow-up appointments to check my leg.

My mantra is "At least I have insurance". It helps some.

Wow! I hope it heals quickly!

Me too. Thanks!

Makes me wish I could be close enough to help! I've done this kind of round so often it'd be old hat. :P

But that said I really hope you get better quick. Extended illnesses are the worst. :(

**hugs!**

Thanks! I'll admit I wanted my mother for a while, but I think I'm steady again. <3

[kelen.livejournal.com]

Yay! <3

I hope that heals up fast, I know how painful ingrown toenails are. Fortunately I only get them when I cut my toenails too short, so I can avoid them pretty easily.

Thanks! Mine seem to happen at random, cut short or let grow long. :/

Ooo, I hope this helps, especially in the long run.

My sister is having something similar done.

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

I think it will. Good luck to her! Hope she heals fast.

OUCH!! That acid thing sounds very painful indeed. Hope it heals quickly for you.

My mantra is "At least I have insurance". It helps some.

.. and thank heaven you do.

I was pretty painful the first day, but getting better now. :) Thanks!

Man, you are just not getting any breaks. ^^; My mom had to have that done to her toenail as well. It doesn't look all that bad now. Hope every part of you heals quickly.

Thanks! Hopefully I'm getting it all out of the way now and the rest of my 2014 will go smoothly...
