It's dropped off!

edited July 2007 in Chit chat
Bleaurgh! I stubbed my lil toe this morning, and its just started feeling a bit numb and strange.

Okay, so I haven't lost my toe, but the whole nail dropped away, revealing a soft, spongy pad. Yuk. It happened once before at a school 800meter event. Not nice. Makes me feel a bit ikky! Hehe, I'm a wuss!

    Here's a handy tip. Get a coke can, cut out a bit of the metal to make a new nail and use superglue to stick it on with! Good as new :D
    Oh bugger!<br>

    No, I love spiders. They've got such cute eyes. Ahhh.

    I hate wasps though. Ugh, they're as scary as a rampant scotsman with a slab of salty porridge. (Another of my greatest fears!)

    This will get you then. A few years back I was doing some laboring. A worker and myself had to carry a 6ft x 4ft, half inch thick steel sheet. He said "If it's to heavy, tell me and you can drop your end first".

    Well after a few feet I had lost my grip and I needed to drop it. I told him and so I dropped it but did not count on the speed it would come down. I did not have time to move my hand in time and my middle finger on my right hand got cut in to at the first joint (nearest the nail). Just the palm side of finger flesh held my finger on!

    The worker flung the sheet off my finger and told me I needed to go to hospital. He and I then noticed my nail had popped out also from the root. It's amazing how long a nail is inside your finger!

    I replied (in shock) by saying "Its ok I will pop the nail back in" (completely oblivious to the fact that my finger was hangin'.

    I then proceeded to insert the nail and tried to walk back to the sheet where I promptly passed out.

    In the hospital I had to have an injection inside the finger where it had been cut in two (not through the skin but inside the joint area)!

    I had to stay brave as a girl in the bed next to me had a seat belt embedded in her side and firemen and doctors where trying to calm her. I actually remember joking with her and having a laugh!!

    I am the most skwimish person on the planet. But because of that little girl it did not seem so bad...

    I ripped my toenail off a few years ago on the bottom of my computer chair, scientifically proving that danger can lurk everywhere!

    Anyway it didn't hurt much but it certainly felt weird, I wouldn't like it to happen again.
    Every night is curry night!

    I hope you kept the nail for posterity.
    I did when I had a toe nail delaminate.

    I only have eight toenails... about 10 years ago I got severe ingrowing big-toe nails and couldn't walk... so they send me to the toe doctors to have them totally removed and have the nail growing bits sealed and killed off.

    It's a bit strange but you get used to it. LOL

    Just makes me shudder just to think about it.

    I have lost thumb nails but never toe nails.

    Ughh, that's horrendous, you poor chap. I dread that sort of thing happening. Do you have full use of that finger now? I cut into my left index finger at work once, with an angle-grider. Luckily, it stopped when it hit the bone. I was so embarrased, I just bound it up, said nothing, slipped my gloves back on and carried on as though nothing had happened. Somehow it healed up pretty quickly, and it only hurt for the first few days.

    Ive still got my stitches from my first mole removal, so it could go with that I suppose.

    What, just some girl off the street? Okay, I'll give it a go, but even the wife stays clear of my feet. She snuck up on me yesterday while I was on WoS, typing away, and squirted my feet with rose-scented spray. Bloomin well made me jump it was so cold, and not particulaly flattering!

    My finger is just like the rest of 'em now. It works completely fine! They did an amazing job. My nail looks a little different from all the rest though and I feel the break all the way through my finger when we get a temperature change or its cold.

    Just dont ask me to play Daily Thompson's Decathlon for more than an hour with keys!

    As for the little girl. I inquired about her and apparently she made a complete recovery and ended up being perfectly fine to.

    Guys, you totaly freaked me out here.....
    I'm a wuss too, specialy when it has to do with blood (someone else mentioned it before).
    I only lost a nail once when a big iron front door slamed and trapped my pointer finger, the pain was terrifying.

    The other day, I was stung by a HUGE centipede on the hand while i was asleep, I woke up in the middle of the night by the extreme pain and couldn't understand what the heck had happened.
    I mean, i couldn't see something flying around in the room (i was looking for a wasp or a bee). When i lifted my pillow there it was, terrifying as hell and a total freak! Around 10cm in length.
    Don't ask me how it got in, my home is on the third floor and no other apartments on the same floor.
    The next day my hand was as big as a melon. Thank god i'm not allergic to anything.

    Strange isn't it that woman are 4 times more resistant to pain... I think if we know there is gonna be some pain coming our way, you should quickly block it by picking up a woman and hurling her towards said pain!

    It's ok they can take it! Honest!

    thats a myth. women are right cry babies. thats why women dont fight wars. cos they are useless. all the enemy would have to do is call them all fat and they run off to the nearist cake shop crying.

    the reason men act the way they do is because of their mother. when your a kid and you scrape a knee you get lots of hugs from yer mum. subconciously we remember this when we are hurt so we act up to get sympathy from the nearist motherly figure.

    women dont play up, because they dont want a pervy man hugging them.

    Lol! Well if my girl friend and I ever want kids and she is in labour, squeezing the life out of my hand and screaming at me that im an arse hole for getting her pregnant, I will be able to tell her what you just said and all will be ok then!

    Well... until her other hand turns into a fist and im sparked out on the floor!

    Talking of allergies made me think. I wonder if squarals get nut allergies?
