Having toenail surgery this morning

I'm so anxious. The needle hurt a hell of a lot last time (because toes have very little fat) but it'll be good to finally have a permanent solution to my toenails curling into the skin.

@KiwiDan I’ve had a few my feet were still growing as a kid and between getting new shoes the nail on my big toes would become ingrown it happened 2 or three times lancing was what really hurt. It looked like a dog nail clipper and they get it under the ingrown portion to pull it out then crunch! Ah
Even 25 years later I wanna cry just thinking about it. No painkiller when I had it done!

@KiwiDan I did not get anesthesia

@jehova That does sound painful! The way they did it yesterday was to numb the toes affected and cut it out with a knife before killing the cells to stop the nail growing back

@KiwiDan trouble is, mine have grown back anyway.
