this is going to be a pretty gross post, so I apologize in advance.
fact: I have ingrown toenails. I've had to deal with them my ENTIRE life. when they start to hurt, I cut them out myself, which has been working great as a temporary relief plan. recently, they've been hurting much worse than normal, so I decided to make an appointment with a foot doctor (I don't know if he's a podiatrist or not, so foot doctor is good enough) last week.
I went in thinking "oh, they'll give me some cream or make an appointment with me in a few weeks to do something about it." wrong. he decided the best idea would be to go ahead and take care of them right then and there. "take care of them" meaning to cut them out completely.
so they shoved a bendy type needle into my big toes (yes, both of them) and pumped them so full of some kind of numbing medicine that made them look full of fluid and swollen. and then they used that pre-surgery dye, which made them look very Shrek-like. thankfully the numbing solution kicked in almost immediately.
I concocted a little drawing in Paint to demonstrate exactly what they did to my poor toes:
basically, they cut the nail at the root to prevent it from growing downwards again. based on what the doctor said, I think the skin will grow back over the part that was removed. at least I hope that's what will happen, haha!
they're still pretty sore, but it looks like they're healing up. I mean, I guess they are. I keep them bandaged at all times, except when I shower and clean them out with antibacterial soap. I'm not gunna lie, they look pretty rough though. Sean keeps calling me hammer toes, hence the title of the post.
for your viewing pleasure/disgust, here are some pictures I took with my cell phone - they're pretty nasty, so if you're eating lunch or are queasy about feet, it's probably best to just close out of this window.

so yeah. needless to say, I've been in quite a bit of pain since Thursday. they told me to try to stay off my feet as much as possible that evening. I'm glad I went straight home because I got home, took my shoes off, and realized that the gauze around my right toe was completely saturated with blood. I had to put my feet up for a good 2 hours before it finally clotted up.
poor me, I know.
oh, and this morning, I knocked the iron over. on my foot. that was awesome.
Happy Monday?
Justin Bieber shares a quick smooch with Selena Gomez outside the Vanity Fair Oscars Party held at Sunset Tower on Sunday (February 27) in West Hollywood, Calif.
Obviously, she never fails to stun her fans in everything occult that she does. The much anticipated music video for BTW, her first single off the album Born This Way premiered 12 midnight in Manila. It's one of those "either-you-love-or-you-hate" MTV. The plot of her 7-minute masterpiece was obviously born out of her mind. Unlike from her previous works, every bit of BTW video has some Gaga-ness' art direction on it. 
BREATHER. Everything was toned down when BTW music was played in the background. Gaga in her signature two piece struts her tattooed body with Laurieann Gibson's eclectic dance routines. The setting was a dark platform (maybe she's inside a big ovary!) along with her "LGBT" dancers (who have the same pointed shoulder bones like her.) 
But then there's more; Gaga went a little dark and explored her Goth side. She painted her face like a punk and flirted with the Zombie boy, Rick Genest.The singer has also paid tribute to the late King of Pop Michael Jackson, and surprisingly has impersonated a teary eyed Madonna. Whether or not she has plans to dethrone the Queen of Pop, that i don't know.
