Toenails Gone

Hello, Today I saw the podiatrist. We had talked before about my toenails. They did not respond to the anti-fungus medicine. His diagnosis was that it was the way my foot rolled forward when I walked, injuring my toenails and they keep getting thick and uncomfortable. Two of the three are gone now. There is still one on the other foot, but that is for another day. He had told me they do something so it is not so painful for 48 hours. So far that seems to be true. No bad feelings at all. I am taking it a bit easy and not getting in a lot of walking which saddens me. Leroy is taking care of much of the things in the house such as meals. But I should be able to resume normal activities in just a few days according to the doctor. I did have a toenail taken off almost 30 years ago. It was a much different experience. I had driven about nine miles to the doctor and for some reason I did not leave the office immediately. The pain started in about half way home. I was seriously crying by the time I could get out of the car. Hobbling was the only way I could get around and just ordinary pain pills did not take much of an edge off. I had some Tylenol with codeine left from when I had viral encephalitis (sleeping sickness). That was quite the experience. After taking the pill, I had expected to sleep because that was the result before. Now, I knew I had pain, but I just didn’t care. Apparently before, it was the disease that was causing me to sleep as the pain reliever allowed me to relax. Those few remaining pills helped me to tolerate the toe situation. Paula
