Tonight however we missed out on our new found tradition and opted for minor surgery instead. Rob's foot has been bothering him for about a week and when I saw it tonight his big toe was bright red and swollen, so I made him go into the instacare to get it checked out, and trust me convincing him was not easy but after several promises that all they would do is give him some antibiotics (something that turned out to be a total lie) I had him in the car. As soon as the Dr. saw it she told him right away that she was going to have to cut into the toe and cut out the ingrown nail. For those of you who know my big strong and very brave husband you may know he is terrified of needles- so terrified that he has passed out and vomited at the site of them so as you can imagine he was not too happy with me and my broken promises. After seven shots, all in the big Toe, he was numbed up and the Dr. cut into his toe, even she could not believe the puss that came out! She cleaned it out and then cut out a piece of nail that I can only described as a bone fragment. This thing was as thick as the prong on a fork and as long as my first knuckle. The poor kid- I felt Terrible, but I will say he does look Pretty in Pink!

My goodness you have a new pet! Poor Rob I hope his toe feels better!
ouch!
Been there done that. Although I don't remember a "cast" on my toe, especially a pink one. I guess they only give that to the really brave people.
