I always paint my toenails!! gonna look strange!! still I suppose I could just paint the skin in the shape of a nail? :-S

sending you lots of positive hugs Anne xxxxxxxxxxx

Ann,

a lady I worked with had both removed they didnt grow back,,,,,,,she paints hers always summmer and winter and you cant tell, it does wear off quicker than on a nail so she spends £££££££££££££££££ on varnishes,,,,and has been known to stick false ones on..... :-D :-D

Rather you than me :-( I'd offer to come down and minister to you but that would just delay your recovery :-D

Seen it done on TV with a local, but I guess your surgeon will tell you in the admissions letter (you could always phone the ward and ask).

Good luck

they will only remove the nail the bed will be undamaged
and yes it will regrow
when stray was 3 she chopped 2 finger ends off in the door
right across the nail bed and had plastic surgery to repair them
they are ok yes you can tell if you look for it
but if you dont know you would think alls in order
she does have a little bother in really cold weather but thats all

all this advice is much appreciated - thanks all!! :-)

I would imagine it willbe a local anaesthetic. I have lost two toenails and maybe a possible third through the toe ulcers I have. My nails do not look as if they will grow back.

Mine was done with a local and was fine. It has grown back but took a year.
Make sure you ask for some strong painkillers for afterwards though.

hope it all goes pain free, ask at your pre med about nail bed im sure they will know xxxx

lots of post-op pain - mmmmmmm!!! :-(

can't be worse than childbirth can it :-D

NOTHING is worse than childbirth haha x
