2 months. Just over 2 months of this nonsense.
Some cunt stepped on my foot in the dressing room 2 months ago. I was getting dressed at the end of my shift and her stiletto stepped on my foot, slanding smack on the center of my big toe. It slipped to the side, taking out a chunk of skin. Great. It didn't hurt too much at first, I cleaned it up and kept it clean/topical shit on it, etc.
It proceeds to get infected anyways.
This infection gets completely debilitating in 3 days. I go to the doctor. 150 bucks for the first pop. It sucks graduating and then not being eligible for your parents insurance anymore. What an awesome reward. The doctor cleans it up, the infection had by then caused a shitload of "proud flesh" which covered exactly HALF of my friggin' nail. I mean it when I say the pain was debilitating. Searing hot shooting sharp pain from the slightest movement. The ceiling fan made me want to cry. They zapped the shit with some silver nitrate and sent me on my merry way.
Well, it never fully got rid of the proud flesh, and my nail basically became ingrown because the nail edge was keeping the wound open and it just stayed infected. I was on antibiotics and I took them religiously, down to the hour, for the entire time I was supposed to.
I had to go back 2 more times (another 150, and then a 220 bill) until they eventually just cut out half of my nail. About a week and a half after that I was better. I was out of work for a MONTH. 30 days, unable to work. I gradually made it back, was completely ok for a week and a half and then I get sick: Flu, inner/outer ear infections in both ears, bronchitis, this is about a 200 doc visit that time. I get better after about a week...
Now my foot is infected again, ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE NAIL. WTF>!!>>!!> The only thing that will make it better is going back to the doctor, paying another 200 bucks for them to cut off the other half. Fucking Great. So not only am I being set back again (yay, it's also rent time!) I'm not gonna be able to work after they cut out my nail.
I just want to crawl in a hole somewhere and die. I don't know what to do.![]()
