Bye Bye Ingrown!

I really thank God really that I finally managed to get the toe nail out. And to tell the truth, I was so nervous as if I were a little kid going to perform on stage for the very first time. So with my mum and my Jodi Picoult Book, I waited in the cold A&E waiting room at Khoo Teck Puat; the new hospital over at Yishun.
But being a Marketing student, i started to talk to my mom bout the good service at the hospital. And it was really comfortable! (If it wasn't for the fact that my nervousness made me a tad chillier).

It was interesting during the surgery. I was trying to focus on reading my book while trying not to observe the surgery procedure. So there i was half peeping out of the bottom of my book and half reading the few pages that I wasn't quite sure I actually 'read'. So it started with the doctor cleaning the area around the wound, then he put this green cloak with this hole over my big toe while covering the rest. After that he tied this rubber band around my toe (I assumed it was to stop the blood flow). And there was this absolutely HUGE needle that held the anesthesia. and he sorta poked and injected like 5 times! the first few times it sort of hurt really bad (Nothing like the normal vaccination jab) then as my toe numbed up, i couldn't feel a thing! Talk about BLISS! a month's worth of sharp pains and pain in my big toe that i couldn't seem to get rid of was gone in a few minutes! So i obviously took an interest at observing how the toenail was to be cut out. So he went on snipping and like pulling pieces of nail out of my toe and it was weird but I felt strangely comfortable about not being able to feel a thing (As if my toe went missing). Well the pain is starting to seep in now, and i suppose its gonna be real bad soon, but it was fun nonetheless. WHEE!
