Army of Mom just went through panniculectomy or something of that nature, but for simplicity i'll just now refer to it as "A fucked up Tummy Tuck." I just got out of the OR myself. The procedure? they took off my toe nail, the big one. O yea, one of my worst fears of my life is to have my nails "Ripped" off of my hand or foot, ooo I bet when you read that you just cringe. Well today it happened to me. I had a condition on my nail, i don't know the fancy name so i'll just now refer to it as "A fuckd up Toe Nail." In short the nail wasnt even attached to my toe anymore and everytime it touched it felt like a spike was being jabbed into my whole foot, it was also hindering the new nail growing underneath of it. t, so I went to the doctor to have it removed.
Everything is going swimmingly and I look up and I see the doctor hand the nurse the old infected dirty rotten toe nail. Good deal I think to myself, now a quick wipe, maybe a band-aid, i'll be to work at 5. But then he goes back to work, WTF, is all im thinking while the good doctor goes to town on my foot. "There we go, all done" he says handing another nail to the nurse.
MY NEW BEAUTIFUL TOE NAIL!!!!!!He then explains to me that he felt removing the now old, then new toe nail would help me so I could start from scratch with a fresh one. He also pointed out that there's a ridge on my nail from the impact, and it will probably be with me for life. FUCK. What he didn't mention was the insane amount of blood i'd lose. The most i've ever lost in my life, no doubt.
That fucker is out to get me
I'm sitting there while the doc and nurse watch my toe bleed and discuss it. "Wow that just won't stop bleeding, you better put another packet of gauze on it." WHAT?! I look over at the operation table and what do I see?.......Bloodied up used gauze packets, dozens and dozens, everyone filled to the brim with my own red goo. I've watched open heart triple bypass surgeries, they didn't lose as much blood as I did. Then the doctor, the one that's out to get me, says "Yea the toes and fingers actually bleed worse than anything else so this really isn't a surprise, but for some reason yours isnt slowing down." Eventually it did, and they wrapped my toe in so much gauze that I couldnt even START to put my foot in my shoe. Of course its already bleed through all of that.
So now I sit here 6 hours later. with my foot up waiting, waiting for the pain to just, slow, which it isn't. I've never taken pain killers in my life and i'm not about to start, but this pain I have right now is unimaginable. It feels like someone is trying to rip off my toe nail while they crush my toe in a vice grip. Sometimes out of no where i'll just start kicking my other leg and start screaming. Oh well, as right as he'll turn out to be for removing the 2nd nail I still hate him for now.
On the bright side if this was canada I would have ended up doing it myself with pliers because I of the sub par service and the fact that I wouldn't have been able to get in until July.....2007.
