Two weeks ago I had my toe jammed in the front of my shoe while playing an indoor soccer game with the intramural league. It collected blood underneath it. Last week, I went to chapel Monday and while there I bumped into a pew and the blood and fluid underneath the nail slowly drained from it throughout the day.T The nail was then white underneath (or what appeared to me as transparent). I thought the toenail had disconnected from the nail bed except for the tip. I have had past experiences with ingrown toenails or getting them removed and knew I needed to see a Doctor. This past Tuesday, I went to the Dr. Frank (a podiatrist in Centerville: excellent if anyone needs one). He sent me away with some antibiotics telling me I had an infection indicated by the bacteria underneath the nail (that white stuff) and some inflammation around the root of the nail. Thursday, I got an inside sliver of the nail removed and although I didn’t get that on video, I did get recount it.
