I have a partial avulsion next week with a podiatrist. I know everyone is different and I will need to ask her for more details but I’m wondering how long it was until you could resume normal activity? I walk 20 min to and from work and have a desk job. I don’t want to miss too much time away from the office if I can help it as I’ve got depositions coming up I need to prepare for.

And how long until you could resume jogging?

Alongside actual studying, I am currently playing the first Ace Attorney/Gyakuten Saiban game in Japanese. I’ve played it in English several times over the last 15 years and have heavily participated in fandom so I know the story inside out and backwards. At first I was worried I wasn’t ready yet but to be honest I’m having so much fun and excitement that I can follow along more or less that I’m not really worried about efficiency or if I catch everything (or even most things when the game gets kinda abstract/philosophical at times). And just two cases in I’m already finding that I’m recognizing new phrases.

Like an hour can go by with just me reading Japanese and I barely notice! Sometimes I stop and look things up when it’s more abstract but I’m okay with that because I’m having so much fun it doesn’t even feel frustrating.

It’s such a confidence boost! I really recommend people do the same if they can with games that they’re really familiar with!

Seriously. Unless it’s a matter of not being able to afford it, there is no reason not to at least try and book an appointment. I was hobbling around for weeks with my ingrown toenail and today the podiatrist removed the offending bit. SOMEHOW, despite it hurting if I so much looked in its direction, she did it without any pain whatsoever. Maybe it was this spray thing she sprayed on it first, or maybe she’s a magician. I’m so happy I could cry.

I will need to go back and get the nail partially removed next month to avoid future problems (and get my gross fleshy bump thing removed), but for now the pain is finally gone.

Don’t underestimate how much an ingrown toenail can affect your day to day life. It had basically taken over mine.

Ever since getting sterilized so that I can ensure I will never get pregnant, I’ve been reading lots of books and articles about pregnancy. I feel like I can now find it fascinating without any fear. Can anyone else relate? The human body is so cool
