Warning, this is gross.
So after my epic fall several weeks ago, my black eye is gone and almost all the swelling has gone away (nobody else would know it but me), elbow is no longer bruised, and my knee and shoulder are almost completed healed. There's just a small bit of scabbing on my knee still, none at all on my shoulder.
BUT.
I put nail polish on right after I fell because I also somehow bruised a toenail reeeeally bad and I didn't want to have to look at all the blood under my nail. I just took the nail polish off a few nights ago and it really didn't look too bad. Still bloody underneath, but the nail never fell off like I was terrified it would. Last night I trimmed my toenails, that one included.
NOW it looks bad. It doesn't appear to be attached at the side of the toe anymore. About half the nail is white, like your nails get at the tips.
Ew ew ew ew ew. How can this be?? Almost four weeks later, really?! I don't know if I should try and put a bandaid over it or what. Try and trim it way back (EUGH!)? Just leave it and hope for the best...?
Grossness. I like my toenails ON my toes. That is where they belong. >=|
