I can fix that! [/Dr. McCoy]

Seriously, if ever there was a more appropriate icon...

I had an appointment with the podiatrist this morning. My Dr. wanted me to see him again b/c I keep getting infected. Well, when he heard that it had almost been healed but swelled up and was cut open again, and infected yet again, he decided the edges of the nail needed to come out again. Permanently this time. Last time they didn't have the stuff to make the nail stop growing. This time they did. They, as he said, 'worked around the system'. Last time he wanted to use it, but they were told by OSHA that they couldn't have it in the clinic. I have no idea why, but everyone thought that was stupid. Anyway, they had it this time, so he numbed me up. Those shots hurt like a MoFo. Again. I swear, the pain of those shots is worse than the pain before or after the nail is cut out. Anyway, when he went to cut, it was fine until he got to the nail bed. It actually hurt a bit. Don't know if he didn't get it in that area enough, or if it just didn't take as well this time, but it didn't feel too good. Also, the stuff to make it stop growing BURNS. So I was in a bit of pain and discomfort on my drive back. The nurse was shocked and worried that I had to drive myself, but one of my Dr.'s nurses was in there (they are adjoining offices) and told her, "Oh, she's a trooper." So, I'm all bandaged up and it's not hurting too badly right now. More uncomfortable than anything. I fell asleep when I got back, though. Had a nice couple hour nap.

Okay, I'm going to start to actually use my writing journal as a journal and not just a place to post my writing. Sometimes I just need to talk about writing related things. Not that anyone has it friended...

Also. Is Yuku not working for anyone else? I haven't been able to get it to open all evening. :/
