toenails
I’ve got fungus growing in three of them. I’ve decided to have these yucky toenails removed surgically. I’ve already had them cut back quite a bit, but need to have the last little bits dug out. I know that’s not the technical word for it, but I think you get the idea.
The happy thing is that the toes or the toenails don’t hurt, they’re just unsightly. According to the chiropodist we haven’t needed our toenails for a tens of thousands of years. They serve no purpose. So removing them won’t harm my toes or my feet. Good to know.
I decided to wait until after the half-marathon and my next trip to do it. The surgery is not a huge deal, and the recovery time is probably a week or so. I just don’t want to cut back on my training time for the marathon, and as I’m going away for a week soon after the half-marathon, I thought waiting ’til I return is the best course of action. There’s no harm in waiting as my toenails aren’t harming me, and as they’re already cut they’re not quite as ugly as they were before treatment.
So that’s what I’ve been thinking about lately – fungus and toenails. Hope your thoughts have been more fun.
