Dear immune system:
I know that the first dose of the Moderna vaccine taught you how to fight the Covid 19 virus. And the second dose is a training exercise where you martial all your forces and battle the fauxvader in a war to the death. I realize that the reason I feel horrible is because you're doing your job and doing it very well. That being said,

I feel so much better. They took the nail off completely, and boy does my hand hurt way less. And now I'm on a huge dose of antibiotics... Apparently it's bad when your entire hand is several degrees warmer than the other one.
Thank you for asking.

@cobalt I'm so glad to hear you're on the mend.

A picture of the offending nail, pre removal.

@ganymede it's under the spoiler for a reason

WHY DID I CLICK THAT? I am an idiot.
-
@silverfox I mean I'm just about to change the dressing... Wanna see what it looks like without the nail?
-
Augh I didn't look (and won't, because I am such a baby about these things) but I am IMAGINING and it's terrible. GROSS.

SHOW US THE POST PROCEDURE
As a medical professional, I AM HERE FOR THAT SHIT.

@testament uh... I didn't think to film it, but here; the exposed finger pre-redressing.

@cobalt Nice. As someone who watches Dr. Pimple Popper and the Toe Bro on my subscriber list on youtube, that is so cool.
I mean, it really sucks that you had to deal with that and I'm glad you feel better! But. Medical procedures/surgery/etc is just so damn fascinating.
I really considered pursuing a career in forensic science to work in a morgue, but ah well.

@testament I also watch Dr. Pimple Popper. OH! And Botched!

Guilty pleasures.

@too-old-for-this I really suggest The Toe Bro. It's all toe surgeries like ingrowns and weird corns and other stuff. If you like Dr Pimple Popper, good chance you'll like that too.
-
@testament I will check it out!
@Deviante Yeeeeeeeeeeees. Sorta like how I watch House Hunters. I love hearing what the couples each do for a living, and what their 'budget' is. XD

To each their own. It's just skin where you don't expect to see skin, is all. I'm glad you shared the image. It's interesting on a morbid level, and it's good to see you with the visible signs of infection gone.
