Hello there.
My name is Marc and pretty much everything else about is not important at all. The only thing of great importance is this:
I had my big toe operated. The nail was removed. And now I’m wondering how long it’ll take for it to grow back.
If you don’t give a shit about the backstory, just scroll down to the “…and now” section.
Backstory:
For my entire life I’ve been struggling with feet problem, more precisely ingrown toenails. They seem to come around once in a while, but usually goes away after only short periods of annoyance – no help from doctors were required.
But at the beginning of 2010 it came back to piss me off, and as always, I just waited for it go away. The nail was ingrown in the right side of the big toe. Months passed and it just got worse and a bit swollen. I was told that I had to use some sort of device that had to be placed under the nail to slowly pull it out. If I were to get the treatment right away I wouldn’t be able to attend the skiing trip organized by the school, so I just put the treatment on hold.
… That was around February.
In the summer it started to cause me shitloads of pain. Now both sides of the nail was ingrown and the toe was horrible inflamed. The slightest touch could make me squeal. So I decided to get it properly checked and just as I feared, they needed to slice it up and remove the nail. But I had shown up oat the wrong time, since the entire clinic was taking a 4-5 week vacation. So I had to schedule my operation for the end of August, the 31th to be exact
…and now:
It’s now the 1st of September and I had surgery yesterday. I was cut up in both sides, the nail was removed and all of the inflamed skin was removed.
The idea of the blog is to regularly put up photos of my toe to observe the growth of the nail and at the end of it make the most horrifying animation. The doctors said that a nail can be fully outgrown in about 6-12 months, and since I’m 18 it’s probably closer to 6.
So be prepared to barf a little everytime you check this blog.
Enjoy your stay.
And for fuck’s sake, don’t browse while eating.
Cheers.
