Painful as anything!

So today I had to go to the foot doctor and get an ingrown taken out and holy crap am I feeling it now that my toe isn't numb anymore! About 3 weeks ago I noticed my toe was starting to hurt really really bad but I figured it would go away so I thought nothing of it. After a week, I went to the foot doctor and he's like "Oh, you have an ingrown" and I was like uhh ok??? Turns out it got infected so I had to take and antibiotic and then come back in two weeks to see how it is. Well today was when I had to go back. I got there and he told me that he was going to spray my foot with something that was so cold that it would feel like my foot is numb (liquid nitrogen) so that I wouldn't feel it when he put the, at the time I thought it would only be one, needle in. Well it turned out to be three needles just to numb my freaking toe, and each needle made me bleed so I have three spots, making a ring with blood from the needles. Then I sat there for around 45 minutes just to make sure that my toe was fully numb that I wound up falling asleep while he went and helped other patients until my toe was ready. When he came back I woke up and he touched my foot and asked if I could feel anything when he touched it. I didn't realize he had already touched it so I asked "did you touch it yet?" and he started to laugh saying that it was numb enough. Then I covered my eyes while he did what he had to do because I know if I looked I would have freaked out. Now that I'm home the numbing has started to fade so I occasionally get really sharp shooting pains from the acid he poured in the cut he made (yeah....acid) and it hurts like hell. So now I get to limp around and waddle because all the feeling hasn't come back yet. O0oo0 and when they finished with my toe and it was time for me to leave, I couldn't put my lip flop back on because my toe was numb so I looked really weird trying to put it on.

I'm sorry, Dina. It sounds painful.

BTW: I like the prompts you're choosing for your blogs. They're really interesting.
