"I had an ingrown toenail, it was fairly swollen, and I thought, "hmm, I've taken care of these before myself, I'll just take care of it now!" "
I did the same thing this summer. I was told by a nurse that it was the worst ingrown toenail she had ever seen. It's still gross looking but it's healed. I named it Pedro. It wasn't pretty, but the copay at the Podiatrist was only $30. I am sure we got billed for more later though.
My avatar is a reminder to myself. I need lots of reminders...
