UGH



I had the WORST expereince today. THE worst.
I went to the podiatrist to have my nail-less toe looked at. It still kind of hurt.. and I needed it to be tended to.
When the "doctor" examined me.. she said I had 2 options.
  1. We could leave it alone..
  2. We could kill its ability to ever grow a nail.

I didn't want to be a freak.. (ok.. freakier then normal) I opted to "leave it be" .. The doctor said she could clean up the nail bed so we could start fresh with a new nail.. I said that would be good.. And it was like slow motion.. Because I closed my eyes for like a second.. and when I looked again.. She had this HUGE elephant dart like needle that she was jabbing my toe with.. I yelped and she only responded with.. "Yeah it hurts, huh?" Before I was fully able to recover from that violation.. She took PLIERS and ripped off the remaining nail.. RIPPED OFF!! I was light headed from seeing my toe gush blood and from a weird feeling that I was in some sort of bad mob movie.. "You have made the boss very angry.. "


As she finished the "procedure" I voiced concern about when I regained feeling in my toe.. what was I to do if the pain hurted like a bitch.. She said take an aspirin.. AN ASPIRIN!


I must admit, dear reader, I took 2 vicodin.. and things are looking cool-i-o! But Kaiser still SUCKS! Peace Out!
