After a swim last week, I hopped in the hot tub and my dead toe from the end of 2017 felt a little weird. I went into the locker room and inspected it:
It had turned less purple a few weeks ago after a swim. The dead/dried blood soaked out.
Side view. Looks dead, but still OK.
BUT OH LORD! IT CAN DO THIS!! This is what I felt it doing
in the hot tub - it was flipping back as I walked into the water.
Nearly pulled off. It was just a LITTLE attached on the far left.
See ya later.
Since I've never really lost a toenail while running ... but destroyed one on a grocery cart while wearing flip-flops (I know ...) - how long do they take to come back "normal"?
ReplyDeleteT, this is the first time one fell off so dramatically for me. Usually, it just slowly gets "pushed" out by a new nail. This one got hurt on a run 9 weeks ago, so that's how long it took to fall off (well, 8 weeks because it happened last week). And now, there's nearly a normal nail in it's place (that's hard to tell from the photos). Maybe in 2 weeks it will look like nothing has happened. So, roughly 10-11 weeks for me from HURT to FIXED.
