Somehow managed to dislodge my big toe nail from the nail bed during my beauty sleep last night,got rudely awoken at 3am in intense pain with blood pissing everywhere and my nail half hanging out.managed to hobble to the bathroom almost tripping over a cat and waking the Mrs up,who then moaned at me for getting blood all over the duvet.
Did that with my already dodgy thumb nail last year. Ripped it right back to a vertical position.
Bled like a piggin' pig, and the screams could apparently be heard 2 streets away.
Went to the quacks who carefully removed the masking tape that i use for werk, and even SHE winced with a sharp intake of breath when she saw the bloody mess.
Apparently, the nail bed has squillions of nerve endings, and is one of the most sensitive and painful areas to damage on yer entire body.
So, you have my utmost sympathy and understanding.
