Well here is an update, and it's one hell of an update. I had been having trouble with my toe because of what turned out to be an ingrown toenail, on both sides of the nail mind you, and it was infected. I went to the Urgent Care and they told me after one second they would have to do surgery to fix it. Not to mention that it took 10cc s of the numbing agent before I couldn't feel my toe, which they told me is twice what they normally use. So they pulled out 90% of the nail, leaving a bit in the middle that wasn't causing any problems, and lemme tell you, when I saw the sharp edge and how much there was dug into the skin I understood completely why it hurt so much. I think the ordeal was summed up by the look on the nurses face when he started to pull out the first part of the nail. It was a look of utter horror. But the doctor told me that my shoes weren't wide enough for my toes and that is why it was causing the ingrown nail. So basically I have to get custom/special shoes because the biggest shoes I can find (The shoes I wear now) are 15 wide. Here's to my friggen huge feet and the expense I will have to go to get new shoes, but I think my parents are willing to get me the shoes since they are such cool people. Here's to hoping. That's all for now.
One of the most sublime experiences we can ever have to to wake up feeling healthy after we have been sick.
