I am keeping a close eye on it. Luckily it hit close to the end of the nail so it bled out and did not build up under the nail. I am not going to loose the toe nail. Whew!

When I limped in the house with my sock soaked in blood my wife got more excited than I was. The toe was numb at this point so it really didn't hurt much. When I had my sock about half way off I stopped, Hmm, it doesn't hurt now. If I take my sock off and my toe is mangled then it will really hurt. Oh well, gotta look sooner or later.

All this time the cat is making circles trying to figure out what is going on.

It is still sore but all things considered I came out pretty lucky.
