Toeriffic news!! Not really

So for the past 2 months I have had a sore toe. Don't know why or how it happened. So when it really started hurting about 2 wks ago I called my Diabetic Doc and she looked at it and tested me for gout. Which is sometimes what diabetics can get, but I didn't have that. She started having me soak it in Epsom salt 3 times a day. Then five days latter my OB doc saw it and put me on an Antibiotic just in case it was infected. It did have a little infection but not very much. So then, I went and saw a podiatrist (who I am kind of angry at) and she said well let's see what the antibiotic does and we'll look at it in a few days. So it got a little better but not great. So last Saturday I woke up with pain in my kidneys and I'm thinking great I have a kidney infection too. So by Sat. Night my parents told me I needed to go see a doc b/c it was looking really bad and it hurt too. BUt Nathan and I were going to go out with some friends to movie and dinner and I would much rather do that. BUt much to my dismay I ended up in Urgent care at 7:30pm. The doctor says you have an ingrown toenail. UH WHAT?? Its down by my cuticle not the side of my toe. So needless to say they numbed my toe and removed that part of the nail below my cuticle. It really hurt and the whole time I was thinking "Oh my gosh, this really hurts and in 3 months I'm going to be having a baby, what did I get myself into!" But Nathan was great and held my hand the whole time. We got home about 9:30pm. Since I've been pregnant I can't really look at blood or I feel nauseated and I want to faint. So Nathan helped clean my wound for the first 2 days. Tuesday is the first day I've been able to kind of walk on it and I had to go to work. By the end of the day my foot really hurt. BUt it's looking better. And the doctor found no infection at all in my toe it was just so sore from the nail. Thank goodness. And I have no infection my kidneys!!

That sounds awful, I'm glad they figured it out. Don't let that scare you about labor though, just keep in mind that labor is much more rewarding!

I hate ingrown toenails. I had one once too just after I had McKenna and it does really hurt, I feel your pain. Glad it wasn't anything worse than that though. Hope everything else is going good with you.
