this one is gross but important, stop reading if toenail stuff makes you queasy

i'm so sorry to add a downer of a rec but please for the love of all that is good, ask your pedicure nail tech to NOT cut your cuticles.

i am coming to you live after Operation BigToenail Removal. you read that right. two months of unsuccessfully fighting a painful infection with antibiotics resulted in lidocaine-fueled podiatry trauma. this shit hurts!!!! but we will rebuild!!!
