Toenail Removal!

Okay so as most of you know I have struggled with my big toe nails for most my life! Always falling off playing soccer, hiking, or just running! So last year I had bone spurs removed hoping that would solve my problem, but of course it didn't! And for the past 9 months i've struggled with having ingrown toenails! So I decided to just have my toenails PERMANENTLY removed!! Cassie came with me and took some good pictures! Which i'm glad she did because I couldn't watch him do it! She also took a video of him removing one, so if I can figure out how to post a video you should watch it. Although I must warn you its pretty gross! HA you can hear the doc asking Mitch if he's okay!LOL! Anyways glad its done! ENJOY! Numbing my toes! And I'm sure glad he did :)
I think this was the worse part! Having needles poked in your toes hurt!!!
FAT, numb toes! Cassie said my toes look like hers in this picture :) HAHA sure love ya Cass!!

And its off!!!

This picture he is putting a chemical on my nail matrix, he left it in each spot for 25 seconds!


Toenail #2



All done! Now I just have to soak them 3 times a day and wrap them back up!! Good thing i'm going to nursing school! :) HAHA

(Just a warning to ya, DON'T watch this video if you have a weak stomach!)

Oh my gosh, that is sick. I didn't watch the video because I would for sure throw up.... I had some toenails removed because they were all jacked from running but not removed for forever! I wanted them to come back! you're crazy! Happy Birthday by the way! I was out of town and missed saying it!

He thought that your toenail was just polished lol. I was like no that isn't polish. anyway!! congrats on getting that takin care of!! :)

I couldn't watch the video because I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be able to take it. I almost lost it just looking at the pictures :). That looked painful and yucky. I'm sorry you've had so much trouble with your toenails, that stinks, but that's good you won't have to deal with them anymore!

Oh my gosh!!!! That looks so incredibly painful!!! I am glad you got it taken care of though! Looks like you had a great birthday too!

Ouch. I'm hoping that the pain was well worth the reward of never again having ingrown toenails.
