Brett, I hope in your nine days off you be kind to yourself and take it easy! It does seem to take some time for some things to heal, ya know?!:-)

I cringed when i read about your toe. My Rog was putting a sock on for me after putting lotion on my foot about two weeks ago. As he pulled it up, a snag caught on my big toe nail, but before I could scream out "ouch!" he'd already tugged on it to get the sock the rest of the way on. THEN he heard me because I got my breath back! Ow, ow, ow! It didn't tear off the whole nail, but it did about half, in a vertical way. The short side is just now, finally, growing out, but the whole hurt so badly the first few days. I feel for you!

Take care!:-)
