This could be a totally hilarious website of all us patients trying to polish our toenails. Can't you picture the docs and nurses teaching us this one at our post ops (he he). Ahhhh...the finer things in life. Actually I painted mine (and my daughter's on Sunday) realizing that it could be months before I do that again! YIKES!

My method for cutting and polishing my toenails is to head on over to my favorite nail salon for a pedicure. I will never be able to grab hold of my toes to clip and polish. With a fusion from T4 to the sacrum, I’m just too stiff.Comment

Yea!
Congrats on your milestone! Mine need it desperately and I practiced last night the position I could get into to paint them. My boyfriend and son both offered but not sure they could master the French manicure look. I'm going to attempt them tonight..I hope I have as much luck as you did!Becky-29 New Market, TN
