Wait, wait, i got one.? Might of mentioned this before, but i just had an.... accomplishment... that merits explaining it.
I get ingrown toenails.? I don't mean I have a ingrown toenail.? I don't have toenails that don't grow inward.? It doesn't cause infection(by itself), it just hurts and causes the sides of my toes to bulge outwards.? So occasionally, somewhat for fun, but mostly because of the pain it causes, i need to go in there with a pick, a miners hat, and some high explosives to dig it out.? And when i do this I regularly need to tear at nail and flesh, and use pliers and a?tool that looks like a very tiny ice pick.? And I regularly bleed liberally.? However I have done it so many times that I'm pretty sure i've severed many of the nerves at the "problem areas".? Occasionally after some excavation, i get an infection there, but I just pop the scab, drain the fluid, and drown the area in disinfectant, and it goes away by the next day.? Once I didnt even need to use disinfectant for the area to clear itself up.
However today, I was digging at the cuticle area
doing some exploring(poking to see where there is flesh inside and where there is nail inside(there is a distinct feeling of resistence for nail and a stab of pain that feels like licking a nine volt where there is flesh)) and I found a bit of resistence.? And I pushed in for what seemed like way too long.? I suspected I would hit a limit way before.? The experiance was kind of like that trick where the magician keeps pulling out tissue and you don't know when it is gonna stop.? And I started prying up, and eventually a piece of toenail came out that was roughly the surface area of the visible part of the pinky nail, and the most forward part of it was attatched at the nail just before the cuticle.
And there was no pain and no blood after I pulled it out.? So I feel a sense of accomplishment, partly because i produced such a big piece of ingrown nail(there is a bit of horror there too), and partly because I got the whole thing out.? I notice now that my toe feels really good, and i think that is because i just got used to the feeling of pain caused by the ingrown portion.
