I tied my shoes too tight during a 🏃‍♀️ race last year, and as a result lost a toenail a few weeks ago

Even though it wasn’t painful at any point I lost my mind when it first happened and was late to a party as I dawdled around my apartment freaking out about being able to touch the soft skin under the nail. I carefully protected it (from what I don’t even know). 

But now that it’s been gone awhile I don’t care anymore and it’s kind of fascinating. When you lose a nail an almost shadow nail forms. The skin changes. I am watching myself heal from an injury I have never experienced before. Is this how people who break a bone for the first time feel? Will probably be another 6 months before I have anything resembling a nail there.

I lost both my thumbnails as a child and it was bad, but eventually they came back. You will be fine although I understand toenails take longer to grow.

Infections I think. I remember putting the thumb in a cup with Espadol. I lost the right one first and then the left.
