Ask dunc anything (if you must)

I have no insight. I found the first ten pounds a doddle too, and the second ten was ok but sadly went straight back on when I got sick and couldnt exercise. when the weather improves a bit I'm starting fell walking again in earnest which should help. bought some new hiking boots last week, so as soon as I get my foot fixed next week I'm good to go.

Foot?
WTF is that?
I haven't heard about a foot.
With me it's the back, but I won't feeel pain anymore. i try to punk my back. It gets better when I do. It huerts trying to punk it out, but I win if I keep the pace up.


/randy out!

yeah, my second ten were a huge problem, too.

They kept coming back around. I am well past my third ten, now. It may be even harder to go more. Seems so.












Shit! Forgot to mention ... it's been over a year and I'm less than forty pounds from my fatfuck weight. The fourth ten pounds seems to be even more determined to hang on, diet, exercise (the bag!) and all.

(my doctor thinks it's fucking awesome. I think I'm a fucking puss!)

Courage, man!

[Al Swearegen]

I put on 16kgs (35 lbs) in the last 16 months.

[odeon]

I'm round 10 kg heavier than I used to. Oh, the joys of middle age, a faulty diet and little physical exercise.

It takes more than a controlled diet and loads of exercise, though, to fight off the excess poundage of age.

If you saw my exerciseroutines you would likely be impressed, more so if you think that it is a fifty year old man jumping that high with such force.

I am trying to awaken the sleeping tiger within me, once again. She is a sleepy bitch, though.

I only seem to have moments, then it's back to the grave.

I have an ingrown big toenail which had become badly infected and very painful. I've just had a course of antibiotics to subdue the bastard, then on the 19th the nail is being cut out. sadly local anaesthetic doesnt seem to work well on me, so i've been putting it off. *wince*

Locals don't do much for me either.
I just think of earlier pains and try to make a gradient in my mind. Does this pain, right now, add up to much? Yes it is happening, NOW, but how big is it? How does it compare with previous pain that has not killed me? Is this pain going to kill me or can I take this one, too?

It's easy for me though. I have very little physical sensation to deal with, anyway, except at times when exerything is tingly and even my music hurts.

I have a "friend" who has had four toenails removed for the same reasons. He is a much bigger puss than most people I know, but he got through it.


You will, too.

Ouch!  That does sound painful.

Will the whole toenail have to come out?

[duncvis]

Oh, I know Dawg, its had to be yanked before without anaesthetic, and it hurt like a sonofabitch. I've just been putting it off cos I knew it was going to be bad - but the toe itself got painful enough to consider it lol.

yes callaway, the whole nail will need to be removed, and the one on the other foot when i get round to it. I will have to have the nail beds removed in hospital at a later date probably. 

[SovaNu]

is it a genetic thing? what causes it?

[duncvis]

cutting nails too short can cause it. I neglected my feet when depressed, which allowed the problem to become severe. the shape of my nail beds makes it likely that it will recur now. 

[Lucifer]

that's a real bugger.  /patpatpat.    toenails are a pain - i have a couple of dodgy ones, too.

It will most likely recur.

There are many causes, including genetics and the shape and fit of your shoes. I used to be really weird about wearing my shoes too tight. For years, I bought shoes too small for me and stuffed my feet in them. It seems crazy now, but I guess I liked them tight back then. I was asking for problems.

 

[ALLDAYGLOWRANDY]

I had ingrown in the hospital to before, plus subdermal hematomia.
