Paronychia Paranoia

Poor Mad picked a hangnail cause she has a phobia about us clipping her nails. When she took off her shoes today she had a big abscess around her big toe- red and angry and full of pus. She didn't seem too bothered by it. After dinner I pulled a Charles Herman Williams and stuck it with a boiled pin. She let me do it- but only after tears, screaming, writhing and bribes of candy. I also put some orajel on it- I thought that was a good trick.
