Yay, more surgery!

owwwwwww

How long will it take for the nail to grow back in?

He didn't take the whole nail off, just the side that was ingrown. I think he said it wouldn't grow back, so I'll have a 3/4 nail from now on. So much for my foot modeling career......

Heal well and quickly!

You had me going too ! You silly thing! Good time to do stuff before you have to get back onto the work schedule! Hope it heals up fast! tokie

Hmmmm and I thought this was the The Link the photo game thread!

Then I thought you needed a new bolt through your neck!

Joking apart, hope it is not too painful.

First one end, and now the other. Snap you are sneaky.

I think toe nails do grow back, just takes a long time - several months. But if you wore those slippers (?) that Clock found, I'm sure you countine your foot modeling career while waiting for your nail to grow out.

If you ever get another one in the future, put powered alum on it (stuff it in the nailbed on the area where it's ingrown). I know it sounds odd, and I made fun of my dad for doing it. But I later found out it works like a champ. The alum makes it shrink up.

Hope yours heals fast. Does this mean you get extra time off work?

Nope. the bit where the nail root has been removed doesn't grow back. least ways, my removed sliver of toenail hasn't, and it's been over 25 years. But it's not a problem. Toe works fine, looks normal, even in sandals.

I feel like I should post something from "Best of Show" where Eugene Levy's character has two left feet. This could be his soulmate.

Well here I thought that the damaged nail bed on my left big toe could be "all fixed" if I'd just have the toenail taken off and let it grow back. I'm partially relieved that I'm not just postponing surgery out of stubbornness and unwillingness to be off my feet - but partially disappointed that apparently it can't be fixed. Ah, well, if ugly toes for life is the worst I have to deal with, I won't complain.
