this is more of an update on a older post. yesterday i went to a podiatrist because of three wounds on my foot it turns out i had three ingrown toenails which they remove by cutting and polling the nail out from under the skin with a podiatrist nail clipper and forceps also no pain medication anyway it should be healed in two weeks and then i get surgery in august to kill the nerve thats that's causing the problem on my right toe and than six weeks after that i get the same surgery left toe
Damn, though...
Nailclippers, forceps, and *TWO* surgeries all in less than 2 months sounds pretty damned invasive & excessive (just to handle 2 ingrown toenails), IMO...but...then again, I'm no Podiatrist or MD; just a lowly, 'non-MD', state-certified, alcohol, drug, nicotine (in which case, yes, I *AM* totally hypocritical), and gambling counselor at a 28-Day Rehab.
...well...that's actually what I *used* to do full-time (while I was also going to school *almost* full-time) up until my blood-clot, my "simple, safe, and totally routine" blood-clot repair surgery - which, of course, ended up w/ my being in a coma for over a week, having a priest give me my last-rites, and ultimately - after coming out of the coma - losing my left hand & wrist to the amputation.
Now, these days, I'm still paid by the same rehabilitation center...but...more on a Per Diem/Consulting manner.
PS (I missed out on the older topic here about what we all do for a living here); and figured I'd just post it here.
In addition to the rehab...after a long, drawn-out, and *heartily* contested (on both sides) lawsuit against the hospital, surgeons, and anesthesiologist...I also received a rather large settlement that, while certainly not living the high life of a 'Celeb-u-tard'...will keep me (and my immediate family) comfortable and pretty much allow me to buy any games that I want, whenever I want...
Nice, I know, but the cost was too ****ing high :'(
