I've just come back from the doctor who has performed an operation on my big toe. The podiatrist told me I needed to have the nail removed from that toe but the GP, who is also a surgeon suggested he take a slice from the edge instead of a wholesale removal. Today was the day.
He gave me a couple of injections into the toe to deaden the pain - quite painful. I waited a while and he set to work. He sliced, cut away with scissors, put in five stitches and applied a bandage. All the while, his nurse patted my hand and told me I was very brave. In reality, the only painful part so far has been the first injection of painkiller. It's been ninety minutes since he did the deed and I'm starting to feel some twinges in the toe. I've been warned: it will get worse so I have some Panamax on standby.
It was handy that Jamie could drive me there and back so that I could have the full effect of being an invalid.
