Two weeks ago I noticed that the left side of my left bug toe was getting rather large. A week ago this swelling was turning dark red and hurting…a lot.
What is it about passing 50 and getting my first ingrown toenail? Is this part and parcel of growing old? Arthritis, runny eyes, failing eyesight and ingrown toenails?
Since I don’t have a small enough pair of wire cutters to take care of the problem, the fact that the damn thing is now infected despite all the care I’ve given it and the small matter that Laurie isn’t strong enough to hold my leg still while I poke at it with my hunting knife, I have no choice but to head down to the VA and podiatry and let them take care of it.
I think I’ll just tell them to lop the damn toe off and be done with it. Might straighten out my gimp at that but one thing for sure–it’s guaranteed not to happen again.
What? Are you out of WD40 and duct tape?
GoingLikeSixty´s last blog ..Review: Magic Jack Feedback Revisited
Ran out of WD40 and someone left the duct tape outside in the sun for a week and it was all melted together. Besides, soaking your foot in WD40 tends to get expensive (do you know how many cans of that stuff it takes to fill a foot tub?)
And sorry for the late reply–been working on Laurie’s new-old Sable wagon.
