Not for the squeemish.

So, right. A number of you know that I've had ingrown toenails for, well, years. I first had them worked on when I was 16, and I've had them looked at some two or three other times in the intervening 7 years. Nothing has really worked, even though I believe I had the root "permanently removed" at least once.

Yeah, ick, I know. I'm the first person to get squicked out by bits like this.

The point is, though, that I went ahead and had something done about them today after needing to do something for about a year. When I made the appointment, I thought it was just going to be a "yup, those are ingrown, you'll need them removed, how's two weeks from Thursday work for you?" kind of appointment. Instead, I went in, then numbed me up, and took care of the whole thing.

So, I am currently nail-free. And it *should* be permanent. But we won't know that for several months. In the meantime, i'm going to enjoy walking pain-free. I think I'll start running again, too. I do so love running.

Healthy? Me?

And, for the record, I'm hardly 'disgustingly healthy.' I eat precisely what I please to eat, which includes lots of fats, sugars, and red meat. I spend untold hours in front of my computer playing video games, and it's my impulse to drive to the store rather than walk because it's quicker. I don't exercise regularly, and certainly not for health benefits -- when I start running again, it'll be because I like running. I was on a soccer team from time immemorial, and then I took up Cross Country in highschool, just 'cause I like to run.
