Disclaimer : Caution. Look don’t look at this post if you have a weak stomach – it’s gross!
Let me back up a bit and remind everyone that the BF and I hiked Half Dome in Yosemite a couple of weeks ago. Yeah, apparently hiking downhill from a very steep mountain means that your toes will be repeatedly slammed into the front of your shoes. The day after Half Dome the BF’s toes looked a little blue – a couple of days later one of the them was black and the other was white. Isn’t that weird? Well, it took some time but they finally fell off. The BF was so freaked out and didn’t want them too that he strapped them down with band aids, but that was not enough. The nails broke free!
I thought it would be funny to put it on the blog. Now that I think about it, it’s not really funny at all. But, whatever I took the picture so it’s going up.
In memory of my BF’s big toenail. May it rest in peace.
I had 3 fall off after my 20K at the end of May… they had finally started growing back a little and then there was Ragnar… two of them are gone again and I’m not sure any of them will ever grow back normal anyway! 🙂
Ha! I’m glad you guys didn’t take it too seriously. I was afraid people would be offended!
Ahhhhhhhhh! 🙂 What a funny post! I’ve actually had that happen to me before. I played volleyball for years and my toe got pretty banged up one season. I hope his new nail grows back successfully! ha!
Yuck, you’re right- that is gross!
But I hope his toe gets better:] Mine ALMOST did that once, but It managed to glue itself back on, so it never fell off – thankfully!
