So, as I mentioned..or didn't, I have ADD...I don't even believe in that really, I mean who doesn't nowadays. Being bombarded with information 24/7, always on the run...regardless. Let's just say my attention span is pretty short...non-existent practically. This plays into every aspect of my life...career, love, this blog...
Also, feet are probably my worst feature...size 10 (and growing, seems like), torn ligaments several times in both ankles, hereditary bunions (that will sprout at any time), uneven toes on left and right foot...paint the picture for you?!
Well, I've had an ingrown toenail issue for a few years now and I trimmed it often (yes I am writing about this), blah blah blah...however, this year with my increased activity (spin classes I teach, as well as crossift workouts I attend weekly) that issue has gotten worse...need to bring in the big guns aka. podiatrist.
And...since I have no medical insurance (get off your high horse), I called around to see if there's cash discount offered and what the prices are. Basically, for the price of cutting one ingrown toenail, I can buy all 4 brand new tires for my car and windshield wipers (cause they are a must in AZ...generally they disintegrate from the heat and sun between uses). I was very close to just taking a hammer to my toe and having the toenail grow back out (with hopes it would be fixed), when I called the office of a local female podiatrists with very good reviews and even better, a knowledgable receptionist, that called me back with an exact quote mind you (given no infection)...$250. Ta dah.
So I head out in my Hanes sweatpants and a t-shirt, ponytail on top of my head, as I wasn't getting all beautified for someone handling my feet..c'mon.... However, when I got there my podiatrist was a guy, the most adorable mid 30's (I'm assuming), dark hair, blue eyed, Southern gentleman...FUCK MY LIFE!!!
"Hello want to see my gross toe??? Marvelous. :-)"...oh well business is business. Right?!
"Surgery" went well...he moved to AZ a year ago from Tennessee (love your accent)...lives in Biltmore area...his father is coming to visit in a few weeks (they may stop by the restaurant I also work at...his idea)...he's unsure what he wants to be when he grows up (I love you)...he likes to exercise (love you more)...I have a follow up in 10 days and he will fix my toenail for free if it grows back ever (love you even more) and he charged me $50 less than I was quoted (he may not know this..but in my head...we are ENGAGED ladies and gentlemen).
I am quite sure he is this nice to all of his patients (after all he is Southerner)...yet due to my insanity I will be shopping for a wedding dress later on today. (Not to worry...we will be divorced by the end of the week...hellooooo crazy).
