Valerie,

Good writing! I am glad that you got it taken care of. I was reading on another site a day or two ago about odd and unusual deaths, and this reminded me that one of the deaths was Jack Daniels. The maker of the famous whiskey could never remember the numbers for the combination to his safe. Once when trying to open it he got mad and kicked the safe because of not being able to open it. From that kick he got a fungus and died about four months later. Yes, I certainly am glad that you got the toenail taken care of. I also am glad that you wrote this for us all to read.

In Youtube there's a Kids in the Hall sketch in which Mark McKinney plays a loner who's injured his toe. By the swelling, the pus and the change of colour he knows it needs attention, but he can't get motivated to go to the hospital, because "as it is, I'm fascinated by the process!" His leg has gone numb below the knee, and he can stick a fork in it and not feel a thing. "Now that," he says, "is interesting!" I thought of that when reading this poem.

How one little tiny part of our body can cause such distress.
Hope it's better now!

I know about ingrown toenails and having them removed. It is a painful process I have gone through myself. So I was hurting for you as I watched you take the shots and be very brave during the surgery. I hurt for you. As your grandmother, I wished I could take your place. But then you would have had no inspiration for this delightful poem! Love You, Mammy

i know where you are writing from, some weeks ago
i stubbed my toes taking the nail right off two!
Hope the pain goes away very soon, a good tonic is a nice large Brandy served with another large brandy!
