Phenomenal execution of a horrendous hangnail gone awry. I just tugged at the broken, half painted piece ever so gently. I didn’t think anything of it, as I discarded that small, once-a-part-of-me into my trash can. I simply went on with my Sunday, as per usual. Then Monday came. A throbbing big toe woke me earlier than my alarm. It pulsated it’s discontent with me and my ‘hangnail’ games, with the stern voice of vengeance. It wasn’t my toe, it was a demon-ridden, vile, foreign appendage now wreaking havoc on my foot. So I fought back. I took my tired body to my Crossfit gym, and I lifted, and pulled, and ran. That possessed appendage screamed, and argued against each step… But I showed it who’s boss. (I also called and got an appointment. Like, next day, get this abomination off me, please, now, appointment.) In further attempt to thwart the efforts of my furious toe, I ran 3.75 miles after work. That’s right, take that you big red reindeer nose on my foot. And then I went home and moved things. Cause, I’m all about that productive life. It was about Monday night, that I began to realize, I couldn’t possibly win this war. It was gooey, hot and cold all at the same time, and I’m pretty sure it was trying to convince me to cut it off and set it free. So it’s finally Tuesday– the day of reckoning. I was greeted promptly upon my hobble into the office, and began completing new patient info. The receptionist was super nice, brought my ID and insurance card back to me and I waited. Nancy, the nurse, helped me in those final moments, before I relinquished my efforts in the battle against ingrownius-Maximus(yes, I named it). Dr. Mary was awesome. She relinquished my demon, and performed a quick exorcism of my large toe. The worst part was the needles, which I’m terrified of, but she paid close attention while I hyperventilated, and went ‘full spins’ in the chair. 10 minutes after the injections, she excavated, and wrapped me up full mummy style. The office was clean, super friendly, and solved my rather disastrous conundrum of rouge toe, week before an 18 mile relay race. Dr. Mary not only saved the day, but she did it with a smile, and made me feel like the world wasn’t ending. Can’t ask for anything more. If you need a great podiatrist– look no further. –Meg and my no longer possessed big toe
