Oh man does this hit close to home. LOL
I had to have the nail on my big toe permanently removed after stubbing it one time when I was about 20 and peeled it completely off the toe.
It grew back with a big hump and was always giving me problems so I finally had it yanked off for good.
After having it done I couldn’t believe I waited that long to do it.
What a relief to get rid of that sucker.
Anybody want to see the pictures of what it looked like the next day after it was removed? LOL
My youngest did the thumb in the car door trick about a year ago and it got all blue and nasty and under the nail and she was mortified when I suggested I heat up a paperclip and then burn a hole in the nail to relieve the pressure.
She was having nothing to do with it.
Oh boy was she in pain with that thing.
I snuck into her room when she was asleep and heated up that paper clip and then burned a little hole in the nail.
The next morning she woke up and was telling us how much better her thumb felt.
That’s when I asked her if she noticed the little hole in it? LOL
By the way.
Using a heated paperclip to burn that hole in the nail is a better way then not having a paperclip and you end up drilling a hole in the toenail with a small drill bit to get rid of the pressure.
Mama never did say I was very bright.
