It has not been a good week

so i thought last week was crazy!! this has been a bad week. i will post more on ki's foot later but we spent a lot of time at the dr. trying to figure out what is wrong with her foot. our house was robbed, the date that ki was on when i posted about opal's was her last with that boy, she was sad, don't mention that one to her:). then i have this toe thing. it is gross so i am just warning you go now if you don't want to see it!

in feb. i posted that i had a toe infection, possibly from a pedicure. i have been dealing with it ever since. the toenail died and i thought i could just let it grow off but for the last 2 days it has been throbbing, getting red and swollen and i felt a lot of pressure. matt said it had to come off. i said i would go to the dr. he has a love of home surgeries, i do not! well i went to the dr. he said a week of antibiotics and soaking it 3 times a day. i said no i am not waiting a week so he referred me to a podiatrist, they said they could see me june 1st so matt said i am doing it. he brought home a bunch of stuff from work and went to it.

                      this is the nail before, it is hard to see but it is all dead and cracked
                                         this is getting ready, i cannot say i was happy!
        this is the shot in my toe so that it would be numb when he took off the nail, i am not sure which would have hurt worse but at least it was numb for a few hours afterwards too.
 my toe getting bigger from the fluid being put in for the numbing.ki said no one wants to see this, she may be right! almost done.
     this is after he took the toenail all the way off. there was a ton of blood and i didn't take any pictures of him taking it off, i couldn't watch! 

so now my toe is sore but i do think it is better. i am just supposed to keep it up a little and i am going to get antibiotics from the dr. to be safe. i took off work today. my little friend at school is a big boy and i couldn't take a chance of him stepping on my toe! ouch! 

i am sad that i will be missing a big toe nail for months, i love my pedicures and peep toe heels!

the DR. again?

A few weeks ago i went to the Dr. with vertigo, a week later my toe was killing me, i really did not want to go to the Dr. again and for a toe but after a week of it hurting and being very red and wed. night it throbbing all night long i decided i better go to the dr. She said it was infected, possibly from a pedicure. i love my pedicures but i know it is possible and people have had really bad things happen to their toes from them. make sure they clean their equipment. i have had many many pedicures and this has never happened but i will be careful. she said i had to be on antibiotics for a week. The kicker was that i had gained 3 pounds from the 2 weeks i was there before. all i can attribute that to is that baskin robbins was having a sale on their pints of ice cream and i bought 2 and ate it a few times :) i guess i am off ice cream for a week and on the treadmill!!
