Ouch!

So...a couple of weeks ago, Akaela and I went to have a mother-daughter day...compliments of my sister Deb, who sent me a "pamper yourself" gift of manicure/pedicure to celebrate after receiving my award (wasn't that sweet?)
Akaela and I had a fun day of the spa, and then we went to see a girl movie, "Nights in Rodanthe". Of course, I bawled my head off and had to do the hurried rush to wipe my tears away before the lights came back up. Good movie, though.
Anyhow, the week after that was ultra busy - Akaela had volleyball on Tuesday, a soccer tournament on Friday, then a volleyball tournament on Saturday. On Sunday, I took her in to urgent care because she had been complaining of ingrown toenails and they had started getting pretty icky. They just gave her some ($50) ointment and told her to come back in a week if it didn't get better...so on Friday, we went to a podiatrist. He put both her toes to sleep and cut them out. I guess the gal who did her pedicure cut the nail in a round shape, but didn't get it all, so that they were still growing inside poor Akaela's toe. Anyhow, he wrapped them up in her favorite color purple bandages and when she got home, Ter called them clown toes. She's still pretty sore, and I'm not sure if she'll actually get to play next weekend or not - he yanked the nail out to the root on the sore sides of each big toe. Actually kicking a ball might not be all that comfortable...
If you think of it, say a prayer for my "clown toed" daughter!
Blessings,
