I have had an infected cuticle for about a week. It didn't get better with salt water soaks and frequent dressing changes. I went to the doctor to get some antibiotics.
I got the prescription. Oh, and he ripped my nail off. Despite him filling my finger with lidocaine I fainted from the pain.
I am still in a lot of pain. I count down until my next dose of acetaminophen with codiene.
I will write more when I feel better. This pain is exhausting, not to mention I have severe mobility limitations on my right hand due to the giant dressing I am sporting right now.
I am very grateful to my Grandma and my friend Jen for coming by today to help me out. A mom usually doesn't get to call in sick.

I almost fainted when I read your FB status. N.A.S.T.Y!!!! Sounds absolutely excruciating!
I do hope the pain subsides VERY shortly and you'll be up and running at full strength again in just a few days. Thank goodness for caring family and friends!
Oh. Oh. Oh my god.
SOOOOO sorry.
Hope you're feeling better soon, why the hell did he take the nail off????
I feel sick just thinking about it. Hope it heals fast.

Oh my gods, the pain! You poor thing. I feel a bit ill just thinking about it. I cut into my nail bed four years ago and it was excruciating. Hugs! Wish I could come lend a hand. I mean it's for the best I can't, because I'm so lazy and would bugger up your lovely home. But in spirit, dude, I'm with you. -- sonia/BEL.
