For those who've been following my previous post about dropping a pan on my toe (
http://www.badmovies.org/forum/index.php/topic,115720.0/topicseen.html), it's time for an update.
I lost my toenail!
You see, I guess the injury had caused my toe to swell so much that it almost pushed the toenail right off. It was getting more and more loose, so I just finally yanked it off. Actually, it sounds painful, but it didn't really hurt. Like I said, it had been almost "pushed off" by the swelling anyway.
I tell you, there is something REALLY surreal about looking at your own detached toenail. I kept turning it over and over, like, "whoa, this is weird.."
Then there's my toe, that is REALLY surreal, looking at a toe with no nail. It's red, but a solidish rule, kind of a like strawberry jam. Neatly enough, it doesn't hurt. I've been putting band aids with anti-biotic cream on it to keep it healing okay.
