I'm hoping the follow up toe surgery yesterday will finally allow some healing to occur. I'm so tired of the pain and hassle.
I had emailed a picture of my toe to my podiatrist on Friday, and told him I was starting the backup antibiotics they ordered for me two weeks ago, back when I complained it wasn't looking right. It didn't seem to be getting worse at the time, so I held off on the antibiotics, but Friday I realized it was swelling, red, and painful, and decided to start them. On Monday, the doc's office said to come on down, and he'll probably take something out, meaning there's probably a contaminant in there. Sure enough, on Tuesday I went to visit, he went in, and found a piece of toenail inside the toe, wreaking havoc. He said, with that removed, my toe ought to heal up a whole lot better. I am *SO* hoping he is right about that.
