Week 10 Results

I'm happy to report that the last remaining pound gained during our New Jersey trip is now gone! So I'm back to the original weight I was at right before we left. Yay!

On a more painful note... I've got an ingrown toenail that will be excised on Tuesday. I have the worst toenails known to mankind and I have had to have ingrown toenails surgically removed since I was in my early 20's. And no, I do not wear confined shoes that squish my feet, I wear Birkenstocks almost exclusively now (except when I go workout at the gym), but my toenails are just genetically messed up and this is unfortunately something I have had to do periodically all my adult life.

This time around though, I'm going to a podiatrist instead of to the family doctor. When I called for the appointment, the receptionist mentioned to me that I would be given the choice to have either a "Correction" or a "Permanent Correction". I would assume the "Correction" is to just have the offending piece of toenail removed, but the thought of a "Permanent Correction" is very appealing to to me even though I have no clue regarding what's involved.

If I never had to have this done again would be soooo nice, because having the doctor inject that deadening stuff into my big toe is incredibly painful, and I actually put off going to get this done longer than I problably should just because of the pain from that shot. So next week, I'll post an update on what happened and how it's going. But I'm sure dreading Tuesday morning....
