Ingrown Toenail...

I have an ingrown toenail that I'm getting surgically (sp) removed tomorrow afternoon, at about 3:30 PM EDT. Please pray that all will go well. This is the fourth time I've had to have it done, so I know what's going to happen, but it doesn't make me any less nervous. They numb it completely durring the surgery, so I'm not worried about that.. But the shot they give you is quite nerve-rackingly large. Also, as the shot wears off, I will deffinately (sp) be able to feel the aftereffects of having half my toenail removed. I also ask that you pray that it doesn't become infected after the surgery (that happened to me once, and it was even more painful than the ingrown toenail itself). I won't be allowed to put any pressure on the toe for about 24 hours, so I'll be using crutches, so if you could pray that I don't fall and bust my face as well, that would be great.
Thank you for your prayers,

~J*J~

It went well, I'm off the crutches, and it doesn't hurt too much (probably because of a daily dose of Advil, prescribed Burn Creme, and some anti-infection/anti-inflamitory (sp) pills... Yup, I'm fairly drugged up :D).

I have a check-up in about a week (two weeks from the procedure) to be sure, but as far as I can see, it doesn't look/feel too bad at this point.

Thanks for your prayers!
