Basically, it looked like this.
And after I had the op...
... I had three stitches, and I'll have to come back next week to have them taken out. Because of these I'm not sure on whether or not I should go to work or not since one of my only means of getting there is by walking. If anything is not right by Monday I'll give them a call. So why am I posting this? Well, because this blog is also about my real life experiences, and that was quite an experience to me since I never had any operation in my entire life. Besides, this blog needs an update anyway.
It started with the usual iodine application they do, and a local anaesthetic near the wart. I'm not really one for needles, so there I just took deep breaths, and that was over. All I could feel then was the doctor and nurse pulling the skin about and make the stitches, and after about ten minutes as I said, it was done. I couldn't put my shoe back on though, so I had to limp about with half of my sock on my toes. Maybe I should have brought a slipper. Oh well.
At least now, I won't have anyone being grossed out by the "thing on my ankle" anymore, neither would I worry about my clothes catching it. All I'm worried about now is how I'm going to shower with that dressing on...

The one and only operation I've ever had was a pretty serious one, a car hit my leg pretty hard and broke one of the lower leg bones, which needed to be fixed with an operation that took an hour or two. I had a cast for good few weeks and had to walk with sticks for a bit, and about six months later they took the stitches out. That was back when I was at high school, though =)
Hey Stacey, how is your foot? Hope better =)
Heya Metz. I've had that done ages ago an d I'm fine now. I do have an ugly scar on it now though.
