About a month ago I decided it had become too difficult to bend over far enough due to my bout with Dunlop disease. Anyway I stubbed it one time too many last night at work. So I came in about 5:30 AM and my wife was awake. I asked her to call the insurance company and find a podiatrist nearby who took our insurance. She found one and made me an appointment for 11:00 AM then woke me up about 10:30.
Long story short the Dr. took a look and said it was infected, I had a nail fungus and as such she needed to remove the entire toenail.
The block started wearing off about an hour ago. Looks like I'll have a few drinks with Mr. Weller this evening.
You and Bill trying out for the sack races this year at the Sip herf???

Decided to go the Rx route. We'll see. Soaking it in an Epson salt bath right now. Hurts like hell.

Pedro,
Had an ingrown toenail years ago when I was 20 or 21. Navy Doc cut it out for me. He gave me a local and I watched him do it. You'll feel a lot better in a week or so.

I miss those military docs. By far the best care I ever received. Had all 4 of my wisdom teeth pulled about 30 years ago at Pease AFB. Doc did it under general anesthesia. Had some more work done in Norfolk, San Antonio and New Orleans. Easy recover and no complications every time.
I think I'd have gotten another opinion.

She did a great job. The worst part was the lidocaine injections. She wrote me a script for an antibiotic and some cream. Pain went away as soon as I put the cream and band-aid on. The nail was seriously fucked. I really thought it needed to come off as well.
Watched the Dr remove it and the only thing that made me cringe a little was seeing him shove the long q-tip swab
About 4 or 5 inches up into my big toe , where he had just removed the ingrown toenail (only had half of the toenail removed)
Pictures or it didn't happen,,,
