Crafting can hurt

My mom, sister and I are making a fun Halloween craft. It's a wall hanging called Frank N. Stein. He's cute, but I don't think we are going to get him finished before Halloween. Today we were working on it and in the space of 5 minutes I had cut my finger on the rotary cutter and burned my thumb on the iron. I was then politely asked to leave the craft room.

The only bandaid mom had in the craft room was a My Little Pony one. So I was sporting that on my finger when my youngest neice came. She saw my bandaid and kept asking what happened. I think she was jealous of my cute bandaid!

Don't smash your toe...

After dealing with the problems that have come after smashing my toe about 3 years ago - I reccommend never smashing your toe on my mom's dinner table leg. I was having major problems with the nail again and went back into the foot doctor today (a year and a half after my last visit). He ended up taking off the nail again - the whole nail this time, not just half. I almost told him on the way out I hoped to never see him again! :) But since I have to go back in two weeks, that seemed a little silly to say.

My toes again

So I went to the doctor yesterday and I really shouldn't have. He pulled off the toenail on the toe that I smashed since I had a new nail growing underneath the old, or hurt, nail. So that nail looks really funny since it's only about a half a nail.

Then on my other big toe, I had been getting ingrown toenails for most of my life so I had him look at it since it hurt. Because of the way my nail grows he said he could fix it by cutting off part of the toenail and treating it with a chemical so it won't grow back. Sounded like a good idea to me, but now I'm not so sure. It is really raw and tender and I want my ingrown toenail back. Those I can fix by myself, this is going to be awhile until it's better. But I guess I can't undo it now.

Hopefully I can go to the gym tomorrow. I don't think I can do it today. We'll see how it feels tomorrow. :)

My toe

I have a hurt toe. It's amazing how something like this can take over your life. I few years ago, I had surgery on this toe, so I am used to it bothering me and the lower range of motion from it. A few months ago I really smashed it and made the nail turn black and ugly looking. Now the nail has become ingrown. I've avoided the doctor this long and don't want to go in now, but I'm not sure I can avoid it anymore.
