Just wanted to let my friends and family know that for more personal blogging aka more bout ME ME ME, go to www.thewey.blogspot.com!

yippeee!

as i walked into class today, sarah (a 2nd year podiatry student), who helped me with my foot on monday asked me how i was doing. and she was kind enough to offer to take a look at my wart after class. so we (me, sarah and richard (another podiatry student)) made our way to the clinic and yea, my wart sure looked even more gross than it was on monday. so she got her tutor to come take a look at me (again) and then i got "cut" again. boy it hurt so bad. imagine having a blade cutting off living tissue from your body. cringing already? yes, exactly. sarah told me to cry if i needed to. lol . and Richard said i was very brave! *smiles* i felt like a lil kid who had just seen a horrifying dentist. hehe.

cathy, the tutor, said that i was doing pretty good. she cut off the surrounding skin, dug out the pus that formed in the core and dug out all the ruptured blood vessels which had been "destroyed" by the monochlor. she debrided the warts on my two toenails as well.. pretty much deeper than previously.. they're like two lil wells now.. hehe. and yea like she said, when it comes to severe warts like this, some pain's got to be beared to get rid of it. so yea. BRING IT ON!

i feel so loved.
these people are so genuinely concerned and are willing to do all they can to help. i didn't even have to pay for today's visit. and if it wasn't for sarah, i wouldn't have been able to get into the clinic until the 15th of october! God knows how the wart would be by then!
and she even told me that she'll take a look at it again as soon as we get back from our hols.. jsut pop in after class again.. how sweet..

and Marabelle has been an angel too..other than the fact that she verbally abuses me, she's been really helpful and concerned too.. and she's gonna help me do debride the wart on my fingernail as well this sunday... sigh.. that's not gonna be pleasant.. fingers are HEAPS more sensitive than feet after all.. gosh i AM scared..

ALL THE BEST TO ME!


OUCH!

brace urself to be a lil grossed out..

alright, since everyone wants to know what happened to my foot, and i'm so sick and tired of telling the WHOLE story again and again.. i shall just publicize it her on my supposedly-for-sweet- memories- in- adelaide blog.

here's what happened from scratch

when i was at my aunt's place, back in july, i noticed my big toe hurting a lot. and i thought it was pretty normal, coz my toenail was a lil long and it was normal to hurt since i wore shoes a lot.

a week later, i came back to adelaide and started cutting my toenails. and OUCH. it hurt so badly, and i noticed a huge lump of skin stuck to my toenail (under the nail) and that's why it hurt coz i was literally snipping off living tissue. so yea ouch. and then i started observing and found some lil dots on my heel as well. it totally freaked me out so i went to get myself an appointment at the podiatry clinic. it was all booked up and the earliest date i could get was on the 14th of august (my sis's bday). and by that time, i noticed a tiny lil bump on the inner side of my big toe as well.

1ST VISIT

diagnosis :
-warts on my heel, and the lil bump on my big toe was a tiny lil wart as well.
-my toenail on the other hand, turned out to be some rare condition where the skin grows too close to the nail, it ends up sticking on the nail rather than on my flesh, thus the pain.

treatment:
they debrided my lil warts and applied silver nitrate on them.
debriding, for those who are not familiar with the term, just means removing.. so what they did was use a "blade" and cut off the parts where the wart is.

and for the toenail, they made me a toe sack, something like a spoongy cushion to reduce the pain and told me to apply betadine on it and come back in two weeks and see whether it improves.

2ND VISIT: (two weeks later) 28th august 2007

the lil wart on my big toe had grown back into its little bulge. but a lil bigger than before. and my toenail still hurt big time. plus, i started to notice the same thing in my 2nd toe and my third finger on my left hand as well.

treatment :
-debrided my warts again. ouch. they one on the big toe was starting to hurt. and applied monochlor on it.
-toenails : since it still hurt, they tried to shave off the side a lil to try to reduce the pressure on the nail so that it wouldn't hurt so much.
-i was then told to come back in a week.

3RD VISIT :4th september 2007

the wart on my toe had grown even more.
and my toenail STILL hurt. sigh.

and i got a new diagnosis: suspected that the toenail prob was also a wart! gosh!

treatment :
-debrided HEAPS of the wart off. OUCH. and used monochlor again.
-the ones on the heel were much much better.
-toenail -i got DRILLED! more scary than pain though.. and then they chopped off the lil bits of skin.. and yes monochlor again
-and i was told to come back again in a week

4TH VISIT : 11th september 2007

i started to notice my toe getting more and more painful.. and i tot it was wierd coz it should be getting better.. and not worse.. and i noticed a lil swelling on the southeast end of my big toe. i found it really hard to walk that morning as i made my way to the podiatry clinic.

diagnosis :
-not doing too good
-ingrown toenail (the swelling)
and why? coz a lot of ppl have been stepping on my foot ever since i first started hurting back in early august. and to those who are reading, if u were one of those who have regularly been stomping on my foot (u know who u are), dun feel guilty la ya.. they were accidents.. no worries..

so yea, got the wart debrided even more. its so huge now its starting to move to the bottom bit of my toe, making it really really hard to walk. and the ingrown toenail part hurts like mad too.
for my ingrown toenail, just keep applying betadine and come back again for another visit on the 15th of October..

ARGH! STUPID WART!!! the virus on my big toe is such a fighter. it never wants to give in. even with all the debriding. it just keep fighting back and flaring up, thus growing BIGGER AND BIGGER and MORE PAINFUL. its massively huge now after debriding again 2 days ago.


and now my ankle is starting to hurt too, coz i can't walk properly.. and my ankle also lousy d coz i sprained it so many times back in my old athletic sporting days.

and so now i'm treating it much much more aggressively.
burning it with the wart treatment everyday. and wiping my foot all the time (coz i wear slippers coz it hurts when i wear shoes) so wana keep it as clean as possible. i wrap my toes up too so that ppl are aware that my toe hurts and hopefully it would reduce the number of ppl trampling on my poor feet.

sigh. i hope it gets better soon. it really hurts. i've no idea how i got the warts. never had any foot problems before although i was so active in sports, in all the muddy fields.. and all the barefoot martial arts..and all the swimming and common showers at sports centres and hostels and all.. and here i am in apparently good nice clean adelaide.. and i get warts, acne, hives... and only God knows what next...


oh well, there's always a first time for everything.

and just to add some spice to this post.. here are some relatively not gross pics of my poor foot. yes, show me some empathy, not laugh at me!!

here's a pic of my toe.. can u see the lil hole at the top of the big toe? that's where it got drilled.. the 2nd toe can't really see the part where it got drilled.. and can u see the ingrown toenail? just a tiny bulge at the southeast end of the toenail. such a tiny thing but causes so much pain!

above, if u look closely, u can see the wart on the inner part of my big toe..it wasn't that huge before... ot was just a tiny dot. like a lil blackhead. below, a clearer and more disgusting pic of the wart.. yea that's the sneaky bug.. i'm gonna bring him down for sure!! i shall get it all drunk with all the alcohol gel i'm using to clean my feet!!

and above.. an even more disgusting pic.. sorry guys.. i know its really gross.. but really, this is NOTHING compared to other foot problems i've seen! man those are unbearable!!

oh the one above actually allows u to see the drilling on both the toes.. it looks really yucky but the white stuff all over is actually just the gluey stuff from all the bandaging. pretty hard to remove considering the fact that i can't scrub my toenails hard coz they hurt.and ok.. one last sickening pic of the wart... eeeuu.. i'm getting grossed out myself.. can't imagine how grossed out u are..

so yea.. that's my foot story. not exactly pleasant.. i know..
let's hope it gets better!!

and thanks for all the love and concern! = )
