Down a toenail YET AGAIN

Know what's worse than having your toenail removed? Having had it removed so many times you've lost count of how many time it's been removed. I think this is the fourth time, but maybe it's the fifth.

I swear, it hurts more every time. (Or possibly I just forget how much it hurt the last times.)

Finally we're going to deal with it once and for all: In a month, once the infection is cleared up for sure, I'm going to go in for minor/outpatient surgery to get the nailbed killed. Hopefully it will stop growing back after that, so will no longer be able to cause problems.

Sure does hurt right now. Only drugs I get afterwards is over the counter stuff. It's throbbing and hurting pretty bad.

Blah.
