I gave my new tan wedges a little pat today, just to let them know they shouldn't feel bad because I won't be wearing them anytime soon.<br /><br />And Legally Fab- I do have a picture, but I thought I'd save everyone's stomachs by not posting it. My parents were not so lucky; I sent it to them immediately. Aren't they lucky we're so close?LLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04431706155081017734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552008288188142238.post-47957132921276899762011-03-22T20:18:09.382-05:002011-03-22T20:18:09.382-05:00So happy you wrote about this!

I knew a doctor would want to drain it, and I just couldn't face that. I'm sure I'll lose a few nails just in time for summer, too. (I had what you describe under 4, but only 1 seriously hurt..)

Not sure why the toe nail post made me feel compelled to comment...<br /><br />Anyway, I lost my both of my big toe nails twice-- once after a lacrosse game and then again after my first marathon. I was amazed, but it really did take every bit of 10 months for them to grow back. I just kind of spent my summer with funky no-nail toes, but press-ons seem like a great idea!bbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10011596873646885181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552008288188142238.post-48993453799525574452011-03-22T12:01:00.923-05:002011-03-22T12:01:00.923-05:00Youch!

I am a former classmate of yours and longtime reader but first-time commenter!<br /><br />This happened to me last year, and I was soooo disappointed about the sandal dilemma you described. You might not believe this, but Express French press-on nails by Kiss (about 6 bucks at Walgreens) SAVED ME! Not only did the press-on nails mask the lost nail while it grew back, but I have never gotten so many compliments on my toes before! Lol. I think I will start using them again soon as the weather warms up. <br /><br />Just be sure to use the Express kind (no glue applicator required), vs. the kind where you have to apply glue...in my experience, the latter were almost impossible to remove.<br /><br />Good luck;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552008288188142238.post-65710063950459866032011-03-22T10:27:56.929-05:002011-03-22T10:27:56.929-05:00Ouch!

That toe sound so painful. I actually lost a toenail when I was 4. I dropped a chair on my toe when I was in pre-school. I can't remember how long it took for the toenail to grow back in, but I do remember the whole experience to be very painful. <br /><br />Happily there are some cute sling backs out there, although they aren't quite as cute as open toed shoes. Also, your beautiful Kate Spade shoes are closed toed and perfect for summer!LTnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552008288188142238.post-72095950004729458152011-03-22T08:58:43.078-05:002011-03-22T08:58:43.078-05:00My first thought when you said that you would prob...My first thought when you said that you would probably lose the nails was, "No! It's open-toed shoes, sandals, and flip-flops time!!" That just sucks. I totally understand worrying about that before the drilling. Drilling only lasts a few minutes. This is a whole footwear season GONE!<br /><br />On a less superficial note - how will your toes be protected? What if one of the kids rolls over your nailess toe in a trike?Melissanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552008288188142238.post-87674895388115116322011-03-22T05:15:57.842-05:002011-03-22T05:15:57.842-05:00Ouch!

I didn't lose the nail and the black nasty part is *almost* gone.

This reminds me of our firm's infamous "toenail" case. A case seriously about a toenail injury. It is currently up on appeal andand its pretty humorous.
