Had a follow up with the orthopedic surgeon today. No changes, which is good, but at the same time, no changes, which makes me feel awful. I wanted badly to believe my foot would heal and I could do what I loved. And yet, it didn't. No time for sad lament, though...Facebook: bcowles920 Instagram: missthundercat01

I think it depends on if the nailbed itself is permanently injured. In most cases the nail will grow back but it can be deformed. Usually some start to regrowth happens within a month. Dr D is the Derm guy. He should know.
looked on a medical site- this is what I got "The nail grows at a rate of approximately 1.8-4.5 mm/month or 0.1 mm/day ; thus, the average nail can regrow completely in 6-9 months." Another reference said full regrowth can take 12 months.

Not Fun thing I learned: routine exposure to other people's trauma can make you sick and can permanently alter your worldview for the worse.
No wonder self-care and finding a place that offers good agency care is preached so often in my MSW classes.Facebook: bcowles920 Instagram: missthundercat01

I work through a lot of this with my wife. She struggled to watch some of the shows I like (GoT, Westworld, etc.) because there are sometimes scenes that have sexual violence in them that are too similar to what she hears from patients at work. Definitely an issue and we've started to work around them.
But she definitely carries a heavy burden and I imagine a lot of people in the mental health world are similar.Code:As of 9/21/10: As of 9/13/10: College Hockey 6 College Football 0 BTHC 4 WCHA FC: 1

My best friend. And I say that honestly, has been diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma. I am NOT a happy camper right now.

Come in or get fired" in retail/service/mfg to "hey, you're in a rough patch and you can take time before you come back" in mental health and service professionalism.I gotta little bit of smoke and a whole lotta wine...

Remind your friend of Jon Lester, diagnosed at age 22 with non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and pitching for the Nats 16 seasons (and 3 World Series rings) later.The preceding post may contain trigger words and is not safe-space approved. <-- Virtue signaling.

Hope things are heading in the right direction Scooby!
Spent 28 yrs dealing with all sorts of dysfunction in my patients- and some of the staff who were struggling. After awhile it becomes predictable enough that it is loses its shock factor and it took a lot to get to me. Not that I didn't care but I had seen it enough to be prepared and I had a responsibility to help the person as best as I was able. I also started praying/going to church because I needed to give it off to someone/something.
That said, I still abhor Hallmark movies, sitcoms or most popular fiction that revels in the dysfunction. If it is accurate I already had my fill of that at work. If it isn't then I can't let go of wanting to tell them they are stupid. After 5 yrs out I still want escapism. I do not want reality.

I'm finding that being back on my mood meds and being titrated back up is helping immensely. Now I need to get back into therapy.Facebook: bcowles920 Instagram: missthundercat01
