Back at the doctors but at a new different clinic.

Decided to wear an Ugg boot on one foot but I’ll need to buy a new one as this one’s breaking apart.

I might be able to get away with wearing an Ugg boot to work.

Anyway more to see what information I can get and how to treat it as it wasn’t really given to me properly from the other clinic I went to which could have potentially saved the nail.

I think I’m consigned to losing it now.

Not the end of the world if you do. Just keep the nailbed clean and protected from bangs and bruises. Wide bandaids worked for me. Have lost a toenail before - it’s painful but the nail grows back just fine. You might need one of those foam “corn protectors” inside your socks to protect the toe from rubbing on your shoes.

  I’m back from the docs.
  
  So apparently it’s healing well and looking good but the nail may or may not come off. Still a bit swollen though.
  
  There was a differing opinion from doctor and nurse if the nail would come off.
  
  Anyway it’s splinted up for a couple of days then I’ll just keep using band aids to make sure the nail doesn’t get caught on anything.
  
  I also have another couple of days off so I’ll just rest up now.
  
  Also as an unexpected bonus it was fully bulk billed at this place.
  
  I’ll try not to worry too much now as that was my main concern. If it happens it happens.

    Don’t stress, eventually it will heal and you can start selling feet pics again! 🙏🏼

    World’s ugliest feet maybe.
    
    Don’t think I could retire on that.

  nothing beats soft wide shoes when you have a foot injury
  
  and I would consider using a cane for a week just to take a bit of weight off the foot when walking

  I think it was more my fear of experiencing it for the first time and the unknown.
  
  Anyway what’s done is done. Just have to take care of it as best I can and just wait to see if it fails off by itself or grows out and fixes itself.

    No infection so far I think it’s healed well enough now for that not to happen
