Well, my toe feels pretty okay today. I’m still on pain relievers because it’s not entirely okay yet, but it’s not bad at all. The worst pain is in the knuckle, where he had to dig below the skin to get to the root of the nail. The place on the side where he removed the tumor and cut out the nail isn’t really painful at all.
So, all is well in the land of Bonni’s toenails at the moment. I’m sure you were sitting on the edge of your seat waiting to hear news, of course. (Note for the Sarcastically Challenged, although none of my regular readers are that, or they wouldn’t be regular readers: Yes, I’m joking. I think Miranda and I are the only ones who are really interested in my toe at this point, and she’s only interested because she’s three and a busybody.)

The anesthetic wore off about 11:30 last night. I’d gone to have a rest and then I went to sleep around 9:30, and I woke about 11:30 when Andrew came to bed. I could feel that the anesthetic was starting to go, so I just quickly took a couple of the strong pain relievers I have (I was clever enough to take a bottle of water with me when I went to bed) and went back to sleep.
When I woke up at 7:30 or so, the toe was pretty uncomfortable, feels like a burning sensation, but it’s not horrible. It’s not actually worse than the infection was, and for that I didn’t have the strong pain relievers, just over-the-counter stuff. I had some more pain relievers and have found that so long as there’s no pressure on the toe from standing or walking, it’s actually not painful at all. I am walking with a limp, and I went out today in my pink, wool-lined sheepskin slippers (and yes, they definitely look like slippers), but with the noticible limp I figured if anyone noticed my shoes, they’d just see the limp and figure out I had something wrong with my foot (or not; I actually don’t care all that much).
Now it’s 10:30 and I feel pretty okay. I was lightheaded and very tired last night, but today it’s not too bad at all. Tomorrow I go back to have the bandage taken off and so the doctor can look over the wound and make sure it’s healing and such, and after that, it’s just a matter of waiting for it to heal.

Okay, I’m not all that comfortably numb, but my toe is numb and it’s not painful at the moment. I just came from the doctor, where I had surgery to cut out the edge of my ingrown toenail. Doctor said it was the worst he’s seen in a very long time. Eeek. He showed me the nail and how far embedded it was in my flesh, and it’s no wonder it hurt like crazy and the tumor thingy wouldn’t go away. Youch.
I expect that later, when the local anesthetic wears off (that, by the way, was painful going in), I’ll be bitching about it, but for now I’m just a bit lightheaded and kinda tired and hoping that it heals nicely and without any complications (which I pretty much expect it to do, but you never know).
I’m going to go lie down now and read an ebook.
