My Toe - PostOp

I came home from the hospital yesterday after staying 1 night following a minor surgery on my painful toe.

Here's what the doctor pulled out... It's broader at the bottom end.

And this is my toe, post-op.

The nail is narrower permanently because he burnt off the roots (underneath where the stitches are).

I sat up watching the entire procedure which was done under local anesthesia. It was pretty gross watching him cut up my toe and not feeling a thing.


When placed side by side with the other toe, it doesn't look all too obvious I guess. Hmm....maybe I should have him do the left toe to even things out.....

  9. LOL! Mucho morbid curiosity over a sliced up toe! So do tell, how did it get injured, and how come there's such a big piece of toenail?
