Of all things, I want to talk about is TOE nails. Please excuse me for asking but I have had ingrown toenail that they tried to stop from growing with chemicals. Now since I am one of the different ones, it didn't work. I went back to the doctor this week after 5 years of pain and he said he will help me with it surgically. The nurse just called and t old me he is removing the nail! Ouch! Never heard of this before. Have any of you? Sounds terrible to have no toenails! I will be in outpatient and pray the bill isn't out of sight as I have no insurance coverage. Reason I tolerated it for so long didn't want to go to the doctor. It does seem logical to remove it since the root continues to grow into the skin. I also have bunion but t he nurse said he would not want to do both procedures on same day. I just hope if I have to be knocked out that they do things on the correct one. (Girl I know had dentist pull the wrong tooth!) I wouldn't pay the guy if he did that.
Well, anyway since I just heard about this and have to think about looking forward to no toenail just the thought alone kind of scares me. Boy, when you get too old I guess things have to be done that you don't expect. Can't stay young all the time. Slowly fall apart and start losing things. How awful! I know I don't have any room to complain. Life could be whole lot more serious. thanks for your time and understanding. Sure is a surprise to me that toenails have to be removed.
