No running today. My boss's boss's boss was visiting the plant today. Her visit went went but I didn't have a free lunch for a run.
CAUTION: MILDLY GRAHPIC INJURY DESCRIPTION!!
I did something dumb in the evening. I got the 2nd toe on my left foot black and blue during the Delano 12. I have a history with this toe over the past 7 years. On thursday , I got one edge of the toe nail to separate and it sprayed blood around the locker room. It felt better after that and its color went back to normal. I'm not one to leave well enough alone though. The normal course of events with this toe is gets black and blue and aches for awhile, pressure relief by some means (prying, tail clippers, the red hot paperclip technique), a period of healing, and then it separates and I take the nail off. Friday I tried to get more fluid out of there. At that point, only one side was separated. For some reason, I then decided to bypass the "period of healing" phase and just rip the nail off.. After I saw the bloody nail bed I realized my mistake. In the past, the nail came off to reveal another one that had already grown in. I treated with alcohol (ouch!!), antibiotic, and a bandage. In the morning, I switched to 3M Liquid Bandage. Time will tell- my biggest fear is infection. I may turn out lucky. |
