Pat's BlogBilateral Wedge ResectionTuesday, June 07, 2005 at 5:48 PM I've had both sides of my ingrowing toenails on both big toes removed from the root! Mmmm! Had the op nearly three weeks ago, which was fine apart from the rather(!) painful local anaesthetic injections - 4 on each toe. The phrase "HOLY FUCK THAT HURTS LIKE A FUCKING BASTARD" pretty much does it justice. What didn't help was before the op I was sitting on a hospital bed waiting (and shitting myself, if the truth be known - twas my first ever hospital visit (aside from that time where I came into hospital in a womb-shaped container)) and the head surgeon came to see me: he looked down at my notes, eyes widening and proclaimed "What? Local anaesthetic on BOTH toes? Blimey, I can't believe they suggested that, I mean one is ok but you really should be under general for something across both". That was a nice test of the bowels, I can tell you. Fortunately the head of the ward came in to watch / keep me company, and was keeping me amused by egging me on to swear during the injections (they wanted swear money for their pub outing fund). I think my efforts to try and chat normally "Yeah well I was exPEEEECCCTING this to be a BIIIIIITTFUCKINGhell painful" kept him amused, also. Anyway, all went ok and the toes have been healing nicely since. I drove to work today and everything, but still wearing open-toed sandals cos a) I'm wearing dressings on the toes making it a bit painful with shoes on and b) it's a fashion statement unlike any other!!! Well unlike any other good ones. 0 Comments:
