Surgery??? WHAT?!?!?!

So today...haha...I went to the doctors for an infected toe that I just recently got. Well I guess it all started Saturday. After I got done playing in the snow, I came in and took off my shoes and socks and I noticed a blister by my big toe nail. I thought it was an odd place to have a blister, but I didn't really think much of it especially since it didn't hurt. Well Monday morning I woke up to it throbbing and it was really big, so right then I decided that it must be infected. I called the doctor to get an appointment and they set it for today at one. So today, I went in not think much about the whole thing and right as I get in they set me down in the chair and the doctor goes..."You aren't allergic to any kind of numbing medicine are you?" I told him no and I still didn't think much about it. Next the nurse has me sign a paper giving the doctor permission to take a "little" sliver of my toe nail out...still, didn't think much of it. After the doctor lays me back in the chair so I couldn't see what he was doing he say, "Okay, this may hurt a little" and I just said "Okay" STILL not thinking anything of it. Oh man!! It was the most pain I've ever been in my life! haha! That just goes to show you how much pain I've been exposed to in my life. I immediately knew what he had been hiding behind my feet. It was a needle!!! Ahhhh! Good thing he didn't show me or I might have flipped out and just decided to live off Advil the rest of my life! I don't think anyone knows my fear of needles better than my mom does...but that's story for another day haha! Anyways, after that was all done and I had stopped crying (I admit it okay...I did let a few tears slip...IT REALLY HURT THOUGH!!...It was kind of a laugh cry so the doctor didn't feel awkward), all I could feel was pressure on my toe and that was it. Then he bandaged it up and the nurse told me that I did good in my surgery. Ahhhhh...I had a surgery and I didn't even know it was going to happen. I'm never going back to the doctors again!!! haha!

Mary I totally know how you feel about needles. They are probably my least favorite thing in the world. I cant believe you under went such serious surgery and didnt even think about it. You are so brave.
