My Toe...Too much information...

For Flatman - I "had" an ingrown toenail that kept coming back, so this time I had it removed and cauterized. I wrongly assumed that this procedure would involve a flamming hot poker. Instead, the doctor applied carbolic acid to the root, which is the same stuff they used during the civil war to cauterize the stumps of amputees... The probem is that the wound now had to heal from the inside out - so this past Tuesday ( a week after the procedure) I had to have the wound "de-brayed". This is guess at the spelling... Anyway, the dr. basically scraped out the wound - whatever had healed over. This was more painful than the procedure itself. I nearly jumped out of the exam chair! It was even more painful afterward as I spent nearly all of Wednesday with my shoe off and cancelled my workout. I had been able to run a little on Monday and I was fine spinning last week and Tuesday before the dreaded appointment.... TOO MUCH INFORMATION, huh?
