BIG TOE, little surgery

I got part of my big toenail removed yesterday due to it repeatedly becoming ingrown. Don't worry, I don't actually have any gross pictures to share. Just one of my toe in a bandage. The blood spots are from the anesthetic injections.

I was really stressed out yesterday because the idea of removing the right side of my toenail just creeped me out and because I kept waiting for pain to set in. Well, it turned out that it never got too painful at all (about as unpleasant as a strong itch) and when I got a look at it while changing the bandage the wound turned out to be pretty minimal. So in the end I feel a little sheepish for limping around all yesterday, although I guess its nice that the limp wasn't justified.
