I had my left big toenail removed Monday, a casualty of moving my mom’s desk in bare feet (stupid, stupid, stupid). This is only six months after my right big toenail had to be removed, after accidentally kicking a metal chair. (It’s mostly grown back now.) This has been a terrible year for my toenails. Anyhow, some links:<\/p>\n
