Flippin' eck it hurt!

After a week of intense pain "a friend" said it happened to his friend. A doctor drilled a tiny hole in the nail to release the blood that builds up behind the nail .. so why not try that?
I did.... by hand ....VERY carefully with a clean, new, tiny drill bit...
The kitchen table looked like a scene from the Texas Chain Saw Massacre! How can you store so much blood behind a finger nail?!
Two more weeks of suffering I went to the doctors. They took me into hospital the next day and removed the nail.
Do I get a Double Wally Award?

And yet I still like Crowns...!

John,
I did not even have to read much of your post before I winced knowing what was coming and imagining the pain.
