Why Camera Phones Where Invented...

Remember when I thought I broke my toe? My doc ripped off what was left of the toenail this week. That big white blob at the bottom is my new toenail coming in.
So I had to snap a picture before the nurse bandaged it up. Be grateful that the resolution on my phone isn't that great and that I chose "small" as the image size on this puppy!

So, here's the rub...

Doc says it make take a year for the new nail to grow all the way back in.

So I tell this to someone and that person says, "Hmm... I wonder if your kids will get home before your toenail grows back..."

Well, StinkyCheeseMan!! You didn't have to put it THAT way!

Bandages off...

I took off the steri-strips today. I'm two-weeks post-op now and things are healing well. I've probably overdone it today, but hopefully it will all work out.

I don't go back to the doctor until the end of the month for my post-op follow-up. He'll have biopsy results then on the cysts that were sent in for testing.

The scar's gonna be "weak" according to the Brent Scar Scale. It gets good points for its length ("distance" as he put it), but it loses points for being too clean and straight. He says if the doctor would have used a rusty nail instead of a scalpel, then the scar would have character.... (apparently the fact that I'd also have tetnus and gangrene and some other stuff doesn't have a negative impact on this Scar Scale)

I think I like "weak scars" if those are my options
