Thank you for these magical transporting images, and laughs, early on this freezing morning (In Australia). It’s so generous to turn pain, stress and discomfort, let alone our own pecadilloes, into literary and comedy gold. Thank you. May Dean get any karma due him. 😉
Oh Natalie, I am sorry about all of your toe problems!! However, this post gave me a good morning chuckle-you are so uniquely funny! I do hope the problem is solved!
Natalie! I have ingrown toenails too! I saw my podiatrist the other day, and she had a good old dig and extracted all kinds of goodies, but I’d had a good old pick beforehand, so the nail on my left toe is badly cracked in the corner and she couldn’t do much… apart from make it bleed and now it’s really sore so I guess I’ll have to go back this week. Wearing my Tevas! I have the worst feet ; huge (42 in all directions!), with corns and callouses and they hate shoes. I’ve had trainer wires on my big toes a few times, which helped (like orthodontic wires but for toes), but tend to get caught up in my bedspread in Spain and pop off . Anyway, I’m excited you have ingrown toenails too or had as I guess now you have tattoos…
As painful as the process is to remove toenails, I’m glad I did it. Toes are already more trouble than they’re worth! I just have to be extra careful to not drop stuff on my toes now. It really, really hurts when I do!
The endless infomercial loops in every office is making me insane. What happened to playing the news, or a soap opera, or ANYTHING other than graphic images of tooth implants (which can be installed here TALK TO YOUR PROVIDER)??
Oddly enough, the podiatrist told me that a lot of his patients don’t know right from left. So they make you sign a paper indicating which toe before they remove anything 😆
Not once did I think I'd read a post about toenail extraction in its entirety 😂😂 Toenails are so weird. I once had a big toenail fall off due to an injury, only to reveal a whole new, fresh one underneath it.
Hank the Hungry Horse all the way!
Yes!

Glad it made you laugh, Val :)
As a fellow ingrown toenail sufferer, I feel your pain (pun intended). Seriously, I hope your toes won’t give you as much trouble now.
They’d better not!

My vote is for soap operas!
How did I miss this one? Hilarious. I vote for Hank. I hope all is healed by now. Maybe a nice pedicure?
I'm a big fan of the labels. Practical.

Hilarious, Natalie. It’s gotta be Hank the Hungry Horse. And Dean better make good on his debt. I’m tired of his excuses.

And my vote is for the horse!
This has happened once to me as well! Watching your toenail fall off is a pretty weird experience.
And kind of gross lol. I stubbed mine on a rock in a waterfall, it hurt like a mother.
