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.....
so can STO on your own?
ReplyDeletelooks much better after surgery
Ouch... from the picture, I could feel the pain. Get well soon!!!
ReplyDeleteyup. I told him I'll STO myself and he said, "ok. don't cut your toe again :-) "
ReplyDeletewhat's STO?
ReplyDeleteanyway, the photos are gross again.
good thing u went for the op to fix it, so that next time it wont happen again and we can be spared of the gross pics! hahahaha :P
sto means cut and remove the stitches la... did it yesterday.

ReplyDeleteLOL! 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?
