Dammit

Well, shit, the running seems to be in a temporary holding pattern for a little bit. First it was shin splints or the beginnings thereof, which means I'm going to end up having to pony up for some new running shoes. Which is actually fine; I'm due for them anyway.

Those started to feel better, and then I had a couple of days of very unhappy stomach. Undoubtedly related to something I ate, but better now. And then . . .



I went and got my pedicure yesterday, which is adorable, I might add. However, I seem to possibly have a bit of an infection in my right big toe. It hurts like hell to put full weight down on it, and wearing a closed toe shoe does not seem to be wise at the moment. I'm soaking with Epsom Salt and using Neosporin to help with the pain and general ick. I did see the tools coming out of the sterilization unit at the nail place, so I'm not overly concerned about a serious infection, just annoyed.

Stay tuned for further details.

It looks ingrown. Are you prone to those? The pedicure could have gotten it going.

It's always kind of curved looking, and it hurts more at the base rather than at the edge, so I don't know about ingrown. Hoping that soaking helps. Certainly felt better until the water got cold.
