Does a falling-off toenail count as sporn?

[DeathByMascara]

If so, I have a good one brewing!

Walking 26 miles for charity in a few weeks. Doing lots of long walks to build myself up, but after some farting around with new shoes etc, I walked 11 miles last weekend in old trainers. This was a mistake. I knew by the evening that something was wrong with my big toenails and have been watching them with fascination all week. One is definitely in the process of peeling away from my toe, the other one is following more slowly.

Sadly the pics aren’t up to much, but I have included for your enjoyment nonetheless! The purple bit behind the nail is the nail bed

I ripped mine off a few weeks ago and it has finally fallen off. It is the ugliest thing ever 🙈I am not looking forward to getting it out for flip flop season!

My baby toe nail fell off about ten years ago after some long, long walks one weekend.

It grew back ok, but every year since then in August, it just randomly comes loose and falls off again.

It’s getting progressively more bruised. I bought some teeny tiny toe condoms to try and save the nail from further damage (which are hilarious) but it’s a forgone conclusion really.

Omg Toe Condoms!! I thought I was the only one who called them this!!

Ds13 has his toenail removed a couple of months ago and I had to change his bandages and referred to the tube gauze as toe condoms. Completely embarrassing him 😂

One toenail is now infected. Oozy stuff on my sock after work & am now sitting with it soaking in some bicarbonate of soda (magical stuff). While I adore pus and all oozy gore, the idea of peeling up my toenail to let it out makes me shudder!

Oh no! Sounds grim - I have some big walks coming up - wonder if I will be rewarded with pus (toes crossed)

Took it to the pharmacist and I need to go to the doctor for antibiotics. Ffs. Stupid toe.

I just cut it, as it was getting too long - and it’s lifted right up. I am freaked right out!!!

Ouch!

How is your toe nail now? DD has a finger nail coming off after injuring her finger. The nail is completely detached apart from at the cuticle. It was very swollen / infected and it has been a painful journey. I cannot wait until it drops off. I am hoping it will be soon as the nail bed is completely dry / healed.

Can also see the new nail coming through!
