My pain...

*That Matt Guy* · 05-19-2004, 06:07 AM

I have to go to the doctor today, and have part of my big toe cut off because of an infection that is brewing underneath my toenail. I'm cursed with a mishapen toenail, which gets ingrown every few months and causes me a lot of pain, but this is the worst. But I'm even more terrified of what the Doc will do to my toe.

I don't know why I'm typing this... probably because I'm a big baby and I'm afraid of needles.

I'm sorry to hear that, Matt. Well, I'm afraid of bees, and they're pretty harmless if you leave them alone.

**Jo Dawn** · 05-19-2004, 06:30 AM

Aww... I'm sorry to hear that, too, Matthew. I hope everything goes well. *hugs*

*Hannah* · 05-19-2004, 06:35 AM

Oh, geeze. That's not good... I hope everything goes well for you.

Nosferatu · 05-19-2004, 06:38 AM

Man. It's unfortunate it's come to this, but at least it'll get rid of the problem, right?

If you don't mind me asking, how much of the toe is going to be removed?

Here's hoping you heal fast and suffer little or none. Good luck.

*damnhooligan* · 05-19-2004, 06:45 AM

My condolences on the loss of a portion of your big toe.

Sounds like you'll be off your feet for a while? It's a bitch, to say the least. I sprained my right knee and ankle last week, on top of having already crappy joints. Now I hobble around the house with a cane and can't even make it out of my flat and down the stairs without either a) ranger-rolling down or b) assistance.

Let's hope for a speedy recovery and lots of painkillers along the way!

*The Defibrillator* · 05-19-2004, 08:00 AM

Ouch.

I have clean toes.

Meira-Bates · 05-19-2004, 08:48 AM

Awww I hope it goes through alright. I have a strange disliking of needles myself. O.o Good Luck!

*Anarky* · 05-19-2004, 09:32 AM

Matt, always remember that steeltoed boots hurt, no matter what

I hope you get well soon.

I once had a piece of glass in my foot and they had to cut it out. i didn't really feel anything, but I felt something moving inside my foot. If I had the choice I'd ask them to put me asleep as a whole and not just my leg...

I kinda had a similar surgery, but with my eyes...you see, up until 4 years ago, I was cross-eyed, but instead of putting me to sleep, the doctor chose to only "freeze" my eyes. It didn't hurt, more like streched.

*Anarky* · 05-19-2004, 09:48 AM

Oh, gawd! that's nasty. Noone, i repeat NOONE, messes around with my eye. and if they really have to, then they should put me asleep for good. UGH *shudder*

But It was worth it. At least now I don't look like a freakin' chameleon.

Chameleons are cool....

*Anarky* · 05-19-2004, 09:56 AM

They once offered me to have my bad eye taken out (it is 99% blind and I'm not really attached to the other percent) but, I think I'll keep my left eye the way it is, reconsidering I kinda grew fond of that foggy blurry thing I see when I close my good eye...

*Anarchistguy* · 05-19-2004, 09:57 AM

Do you wear an eye patch or something?

Oh, do you have "Lazy Eye"?
I do... My left eye is half blind....

*Anarky* · 05-19-2004, 10:01 AM

I don't quite know what lazy eye means, but I'll tell you the story.

apparently I was born with only one good eye, then at the age of three my parents noticed that i was cross-eyed. so they took me to a doctor who said and I kinda quote: "Sir, Madam, I'm very sorry to inform you but your child is blind [long Pause during which my parents were frozen in shock] on one eye that is."

well and it's been like that ever since.

*Anarchistguy* · 05-19-2004, 10:05 AM

Suppose you got blind on both eyes. What would you do?

*Anarky* · 05-19-2004, 10:07 AM

first: have revenge on all those who deserve it, then I'd drink myself to death, I think.

I had some eye-rash on my right eye last year. I was never ever so scared in my whole life...

Why couldn't they just treat the infection with antibiotics? That usually works very well, especially with the advanced antibiotics of today. Amputation is not cool at all, even if it is miniscule.
