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.

Oh, and while I have you here, do you know if I left my PS2 power-cable up at your place? Cause I can't find it here with my stuff, and trying to get in touch with Louis (to see if he knows) is an impossible task, it seems. It'd be nice to have that, 'cause without it watching movies is difficult and playing video games (that aren't on my computer) is impossible.

hrm
