Don't take no guff

I am down to 8 toenails.

For the last couple of days the toenail on the right foot was ready for the taking, and as much as I could pry it up and nearly off, it was just hanging on by the corners. See here:



Tonight I had enough and worked my magic. Again, I was afraid that if I pulled too hard that it would pull it off prematurely and leave me in some kind of weird nail-bed kind of pain and blood that I didn't need to deal with.

Here is the old nail:


Pretty nice eh? If you look closely at the lower left corner you will see that there is a shred of skin that it was using to hang on.

There was a lot more 'guff' under this toenail than the other one--have a look at this:

I know, right? Gross. That 2nd toe really is tall, eh? Amazing that it isn't the one that got jammed.

Once I cleaned it all off, however, somehow it doesn't look as strange as the other one did. Perhaps it is because I am used to it now, but regardless it isn't as weird: See for yourself (there is still a bit of 'guff' on the nailbed that I couldn't get off. It will probably come off in the shower):


...and the pair of them:

...and all 10 of them:


Oh and sis, this one's for you...I almost forgot...


The underside...:)
