Sure did. It’s a nice stereo shelf that’s now being used to store books at an antique mall.

The nail started to flake off from the side, and yesterday, I cut about half of it off. Totally painless, but it sure looks weird.

I kicked a brake drum hidden in tall grass while wearing a pair of flip flops. Lost the nail on my right big to about 3 weeks later. The nail grew back fine except the right 1/3 of it isn’t attached to the nail bed.

I removed a little more yesterday. I can see new toenail growing underneath it.
