Biowire

Those I mentioned it to will be pleased to, though now I have to limp around in sandals to accommodate the bandage.

I was under a general aesthetic for the procedure, but The doctor described the offending nail as "being like barbed wire" when he cut it out. Later he described the fragments of nail as "like fishhooks".

...which makes me think that somehow the biowire that rogue keeps running into would be all the more disgusting if it was made from toenail material.

Glad it went ok. I've had quite a few toenails of doom myself, but never had to have an op. When I had my first one, my GP sorted it out and as I remembered what he did and have caught them soon enough, they've never really been a problem since. I won't post-up what it entails though, as some people might be reading this while eating lunch. ;)

As a fellow 'large parts of a toe-nail hacked off' you will, no matter how hard you try, at some point before it has healed properly, stub your toe. And it will hurt. A lot.

I have had the unfortunate need to have had BOTH big toenails removed, DOWN TO THE NAIL BED!

They will not grow back they told me (15 years ago) and they haven't yet.

You have my deepest sympathies, I bet it hurts like a good'un.

Ah, the true sign of a goth. They never admit to it.

I was never a goth, by the way...

do you realise that in all these years dredd has never had time off for ingrowing toe nails. now considering those tight boots. they must be awful. just one more example of dredds grit.
nothing stops that guy.
