My deepest apologies for failing to keep you apprised of the status of my toe. I'm sure many of you wish you could only forget the moment of the toe injury in Italy and, truly, it is the same in my life. If only I could forget.
There were some who doubted and thought, verily, this is a mere cut to a toe which is nothing more than a subsidiary appendage, a digit of insignificant measure or means, a mere trifle of an extension. What possible news of any value could be contained in such a report.
In some small ways, their critical assessment of the situation was as accurate as someone with little vision can perceive. Yes, it was a toe. Yes, it was cut.
However, that was not the beauty part.
Nooooo.
After some while of exquisitely enervating pain, the whole fookin' nail came off me big toe. It must be about six months later now and the good Lord has given me back some kind of mutated toe nail but it doesn't have the glorious strength and form of the other one. Someday, when the toenail fully grows back, I hope to feel whole again.
It probably will not be necessary to post any further toenail updates unless there is a critical medical need ... or if that li'l piggy goes to market.
