Ow, sorry to hear that dude.
My dad had an ingrown toenail like that, except it just became a sort of stone like lump where the toenail would be, which is kinda gross

God speed...

Just got back from the Doc, I go under the knife on Friday. Until then I have to apply a series of ointments and take some antibiotics. What really pisses me off about this whole thing is that my crappy Kroger insurance won't be paying a cent for any of this.

OUCH that sucks. How much does all of this come to, if you don't mind me asking?

*That Matt Guy* · 05-19-2004, 03:55 PM

I don't know yet, I've already spent over $200 though. I'll probably top off somewhere around $600-700.

That's a lot of cash for cutting off part of your toe. I don't think I'm covered by my parents' insurance anymore, and I don't have a job (yet), so if I get terminally ill or have to undergo surgery, I'm screwed. My parents would probably pay for it, but I'd have to pay them back eventually. Anyway, I hope all goes well on Friday for you.

**Jo Dawn** · 05-19-2004, 05:45 PM

Wow, Matthew, that's too bad about your insurance. But I really do hope everything goes well on Friday.

*Hannah* · 05-19-2004, 06:02 PM

...Ouch....

*Brodie* · 05-19-2004, 06:17 PM

The exact same thing with my toe happens every so often, not a big deal, they just cut the nail....But they're cutting the toe off?

*That Matt Guy* · 05-19-2004, 06:34 PM

They're removing the complete nail and infected tissue.

**azure turtle** · 05-19-2004, 08:35 PM

Oh man... ya have to suffer through this procedure and your insurance isn't paying for it? Sorry to hear that.

I hope everything goes well on Friday.

~~Trunks~~ · 05-19-2004, 08:51 PM

that really sucks I wonder how long it will tack to heal hope its fast.

*Voltron* · 05-20-2004, 01:29 PM

My grandfather had his toe amputated due to infection, as well. However, since he has diabetes, it refused to heal so he needed it bandaged for about two years. Odd thing is, it healed during the summertime, so my mother told him the ocean helped it heal. However, my cynical grandfather felt that the ocean healed his toe by mistake and in reality just wanted to kil him. So now, when we drive by the ocean he screams "It's comin to get me, that damn ocean is! I can feel my toe opening!"

...yes he is. Still, he's the sanest among his ilk, which is very scarey.

.. but that kind of family members are just lovable. man, my grandmummy is just weird. here an example

GM: "I have never been so ill in my entire life"
Me: "well then I suggset you go see a doctor..."
GM: "NO! Never"

or when she writes short messages (she's got a new nokia cell for her birthday)... Like three languages mixed up, capitals and non capital letters, spelling mistakes are giving me a hard time getting what she actually is all about. I love her nontheless.

*That Matt Guy* · 05-21-2004, 08:02 AM

The operation is complete. Everything went good, and after some paperwork and phone calls; my insurance is indeed paying for it. I'm just glad I finally got this done, it's been bothering me off and on for a long time. And thanks for all of your comments, I really appreciate them.

*damnhooligan* · 05-21-2004, 08:04 AM

Hot damn, Matt. Best wishes for a good recovery. Do what I do: milk your injury for all the free favors, pity and milkshakes you can.

愛 · 05-21-2004, 09:26 AM

That's good to hear. It all works out in the end, I'd say. Here's to a good recovery!
