A year and a half ago I dropped a 45 pound plate at the gym straight onto my big toe. I shattered the bone, needed stitches because I busted the toe open, and obviously I lost my toenail. The shape of my toe hasn't been the same since, and I needed a nail bordering procedure done after the nail started coming back ingrown. Anyway, the nail started growing back thick and weird and eventually there was a giant ridge in the nail separating thin, normal nail and the thick and gross part. The thick part has started breaking away, but it is stubbornly hanging on. Tonight I was able to lift it enough to see nail underneath! It's totally weird. I guess I started growing two nails after my busted nail was removed, but the top one eventually stopped and is just stuck to the bottom nail now. I'm hoping it'll fall off eventually or grow out enough to trim it away, and that maybe it won't happen again.
