Started the spring with a heel spurr.
Early August I injured my ribs working on my boat.
This month I stubbed my toe and developed an ingrown toenail.
Of course I let it go too long until it got infected and sore as hell.
Today I went to the doctor for relief. He had me lay on the exam table
and proceeded to jamb his scissors between the nail and toe so he could
cut a v-shaped wedge along one side and rip it out. He didn't warn me he
was going to do the operation without freezing.
After, he informed me that the freezing doesn't take well with infection
present.
Now I'll be wearing sandles for a few days and expect every fifth person
I encounter to step on or stub my toe. Wonder if I can get my steel
toed shoes on?


Sorry to hear about your toe - I broke my left big toe this Spring and
it wasn't pretty.

If it helps you out any, one of my tenants has a black lab who dug a
tunnel/hole half way to the other street which I promptly fell into
this afternoon while cutting the grass which threw me off my lawn
tractor causing me to land on my bad shoulder which is to be operated
on in November and now hurts like hell.

Thanks Tom....that picks me up.
It always helps to hear of someone in worse shape. ;-)
