I am going to miss my baby toenail.  It was bruised after Boston and it hurt. I was pretty sure it was going to fall off.  But then it never did. And so finally, with the onset of sandal weather, I  celebrated by getting a pedicure. But when the girl was cutting and filing my toenail, it fell halfway off, hanging onto just one side of my toe.  Surprized, she looked up at me appologetically like it was her fault.  Now what am I supposed to do?  Tear it the rest of the way off and paint four nails?  Paint a pretened nail in the space my nail used to be?  I had her paint it and leave it on, but it's only halfway attached.

Isn't there a new one growing underneath the dead one? I'd clip off as much as possible the part that's falling off; then paint over the whole area to protect the tender new growth.

OUCH! Sounds a little embarrassing

I cut it way down about 3 weeks ago, but now it's just hanging on by the skin on one side. Nothing growing underneath yet that I can see. But for whatever reason pressing it back it into my toe, it kind of stays in place ( a little crooked but still connected)....so it's like I have a Lee Press-On toenail. I wish I had a pair of open toed running shoes.
