I've had an ingrown toe nail where I cut it wrong and it grew into the skin and it got all white and blood and pus were coming out so they had to inject something to numb it and they cut off half of my big toenail and some infected skin and have me topical ointment and antibiotics and to this day I always cut my toenails in a straight line. :D

Maybe I should create a gross toenail story thread. ;)

please do. at least I can refrain from reading that one.


blech!

LMAO sorry kids, I thought that was what this thread had finally devolved into.... Camping Thread in it's amoeba-like state.

This is the new "Sooo..." thread.

I do have a gross toenail story that I know a few people have heard. It hearkens back to my earliest memories of inconsiderate people at Disneyland. I was a tiny little thing when I was 7, and at the park with my aunt and soon-to-be uncle. A guy that makes even the biggest of men I've met from LoT look wiry backed up and stepped on my big toe, splitting it in half vertically.

I let loose with a scream and after that, I couldn't say anything. Hurt. So. Bad. I just cried and blood was oozing everywhere. The guy didn't even turn around to see what had happened. As my now-uncle was foisting me over his shoulder to bring me to First Aid, I remember looking at my aunt who'd gotten the attention the guy that was in front of us. He just shrugged.

If I remember correctly, it was my first "What the hell...?" moment. Needless to say, the toenail was lost.

ok, raise your hand if you haven't lost a finger or toe nail?? Sheesh.



I'm just worried that it will take forever to grow back, and it's frelling summertime when I'm at my most barefoot.


Fine.

Me!!! Which is why these stories really make me squeamish. I need to stop reading this thread. EEeeeeeeEEE, that would fvcking HuuuUUUUrrrt.

It's not the pain ... it's the grossness.





The nail already fell off my pinky toe ... and my foot looks like a freaky alien appendage. Without my big toenail, I'm going to have to go into hiding!

I've never lost one either. I feel kind of left out now.

Why do you think I didn't want to go barefoot in the river? :eek:
