A splendid day out in my yard . Sky has shown it's true bright blue color after two weeks as dull thin layer of clouds kept it covered . It is always amazing to see dazzling sun showering it's gold over the tranquil views .
One of hubby's niece visited some days ago and told her younger sister was having soaring foot thumb which does not seem to heal completely since more than an year . Doctor congratulate her after further tests including MRI that everything is fine and no serious issue is going on. But our niece mentioned that her sister is taking medicine and she has to take break when she feels that when the thumb heals certain mount of pain seems to rise in upper part of ankle though doctor said there is nothing absolutely to worry about.
I hope the doctor is perfectly correct!
This remind me that hubby also had suffered with slightly soaring foot thumb for more than thirteen years but it stayed mild by the grace of God and never improved further .Actually nothing was visible ,only a corner of one of his foot thumb would feel pain and bit of swelling sometimes that is it .Hubby would take care of it regularly as precaution. It left few years back finally.
Even such slight issue of hubby would terrify me because in past when i was in my native village ,a middle aged beautiful and rich woman died only because the wound appeared in her foot thumb spread in her whole body as cancer . This was shocking to learn one day that she was dead because of her foot thumb wound.
In my life it happened twice when my foot thumb nails were hit and broken completely .
First time when i was in native home .I was freshly out of school and mom was trying to make me learn basic household .
In those days mom had three stone mortars of different sizes .The biggest one was huge and weighed 6 to 8 kg most probably .
One day when i got up holding the biggest mortar in my hand it slipped from my hand suddenly and fell straight on my right foot thumb . I felt nothing for first few seconds as i was given anesthesia and felt unable to feel anything, but later piercing pain i felt and when i looked down my foot quite a blood was gather close to my foot. I sat down ground shakenly because i couldn't lift my foot to walk. When i tried to touch the thumb nail it fell on a side . I had strange habit not to shout or cry loud when something like this occurred so i hold trunk of tree near by and got up .When i was walking i could not feel i have thumb nail anymore.
I assume mom could not hear due to tv was on and more because mortar hit my feet rather than ground which makes less sharp sound. When mom came out while i was trying to walk she shouted and hold me and took inside .long story short my thumbnail regrew within a month or two i guess and no one can tell it ever happened .
Second time when i was mopping floor with hand by sitting on feet after my marriage .I was in hurry and i pushed a huge box away hurriedly and mindlessly .It was old box gifted by hubby's grandma and i would keep grocery in it all the kitchen stuff we used for cooking. It was heavy and full .But i was also young and my arm had strength . With my push box slipped away so quickly .Only after few seconds when i saw my left thumbnail was broken completely and hanging aside and little blood was flowing on wet floor.
I had no one around as hubby was office . I tried to pull the hanging nail and with little effort and more terrible pain it separated from thumb ,later i applied betnovate on it after cleaning it though hubby attended it cautiously and regularly and it healed within a month .
Both times my thumbnail came back without turning into bad by the grace of Allah!
I wanted to share this because mostly i forgot such so so many happenings in daily routine but our niece reminded me .
thanks to all of you for showing kindness in comments on previous post !
i am though not much happy with me share things like this who let down any of my loved ones .
blessings to all of you and to all you love!
Ouch, ouch, OUCH!

DeleteBaili so glad to read that your thumbnail grew back. Is it not amazing how those small hurts linger for quite some time. Hope your December is wonderful. Hugs!
ReplyDeletethank you dear Debbie !
Deletei think more credit goes to hubby's care after the grace of divine !
December is pleasant until by the grace of God
OMGosh dropping that on your foot. With my foot in such a state right now I can imagine how much that hurt. I hope your niece gets better soon. Have a nice day today.
ReplyDeletethanks dear Nichole i hope her wound heals perfectly soon by the grace of lord.
Deleteoh yes the mortar was intensely heavy but there is no forgiveness in Nature once you are given brain lol
So sorry to learn of your injuries in the past
ReplyDeletehope yours were mild dear Christine :)
DeleteOuch indeed!
ReplyDelete:)
DeleteBoth incidents sound painful. I am glad your nails grew back without any after effects.
ReplyDeleteindeed it was grace of good God that no wound troubled for long dear Cheri
DeleteOuch. I had to do that with one small toe nail, hurt a lot.
ReplyDeleteit does dear Susan but when it happened i was big girl so i think therefore no ouch came out :)
DeleteHave a great weekend, baili
ReplyDeleteI cringe just reading about those. I am clumsy so I have hurt my toes often. I don't think I ever lost nail but I have broken toes and fingers several times.
ReplyDeleteoh sorry !
Deletei had broken my finger once and mom and me travelled to village near by for many miles to an old man who was famous for fixing .he did though it hurt but yes felt better instantly almost
You have had a few injuries to your toes then over the years. Would have hurt I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteTake care.
i think we all do dear Margaret but at that age one can think easily possibly only me and why lol
ReplyDeleteThis was a timely post, Baili, as I recently went to a podiatrist because of toe issues. I thought it might be a case of toenail fungus since several toenails were thick and difficult to trim. After a return visit and the lab results of scrapings the podiatrist had taken on the first visit, the diagnosis was toe "trauma" and the suspected cause could be wearing shoes that were too tight. I have a gel that will be applied daily to hopefully soften the toenails before my next visit.
ReplyDeleteI was happy to read that your toe injury healed well my friend.
I am really sorry for you are dealing toenails issue recently dear Dorothy, as I mentioned hubby had soaring toe for more than one decade though it disappeared finally few years back thankfully.
DeleteI hope your problem is mild as well. Yes tight shoes even if not tight wearing shoes for long cause toe pain if i speak my experience .
Wish you speedy recovery my friend!
Gosh dropping that on your foot. A big OUCH!
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Nature point out all the time there is no room for being absent mind even for second dear Jan
DeleteIt’s always lovely to spend time in the yard and I’m glad the sunshine is back. I will have to wait until next spring here. That’s interesting the coincidence between your husband's niece and your hubby. It’s scary when our loved ones have health problems, especially when we know of others with more serious health issues. The accident with the mortar and heavy box sounded very painful and scary. I had toxemia poisoning because of a dog bite as a child and was ill for many weeks. My friend’s dog was a problem dog who had a habit of biting people, and she begged me not to say anything, so I hid my bite and unfortunately got sick because of it. Now we must take really good care of ourselves and I wish you and your family good health from now on.
ReplyDeleteOh dear God this sounds little unfair by your friend to stop you mention you bite .It made you sick oh this is worrying and sad my friend!
DeleteGlad you felt better later .here people are injected 14 injections for dog bite.v
But when I recall an incident from childhood one of the my cousins was bitten by dog once and my aunt immediately put handful red chilli upon her wound oh my God the cries of my cousin reached sky but she got better within some weeks. I wonder if my aunt tried Abu other treatment as it was never mentioned
Ouch! I am a baby when it comes to hurting my fingernails or toenails! I'm glad your toenails grew back okay. It was so kind of your husband to take good care of your injury. He is a good man.
ReplyDeleteI was opposite instead dear Jenny. I would not shout nor complain when I would got hit or injured. I am not saying there were no tears in my eyes. They were but very little but no voice at all. I would have hardly notice my habit until while answeanswering to comments on this post.
DeleteHubby oh yes he is really beautiful soul full of love and care .life seems short when I think to return all the goodness he has brought to me and his family always
I'm thankful Debbie.
ReplyDeleteBy God's grace, I believe that spouse deserves more praise for his caring!
December is a beautiful month up until God's grace
