Oh yeah..... let the grossness begin...

Okay, I've been asked for an update on the wart situation, so I have a mandate!

The actual getting rid of the wart was pretty simple. The pads worked so quickly! I put the pad on for the first 48 hours, and when I switched it, I could see that the skin was already white. I kept the second pad on for another 48 hours, and when I took that off, I could see the wart sticking up through the skin! It basically just fell out. And underneath was that telltale hole I was hoping for! I changed it and put a pad on for another 48 hours, because I wasn't sure it could be that easy. But it was! After that, I just quit.

Of course, it isn't really over after the wart falls off. The pad destroys multiple layers of skin in order to get down to the wart, so now I have a huge section of skin that's dead and is just a callous. And the pads move around when you walk, so the acid is spread around to areas that don't need to be destroyed. So now I have a huge swath of skin on my foot that's peeling.

So the last part is still going on, which is me just peeling off the dead skin on the bottom of my foot when it starts annoying me. And I can't do it around Greg, because the moment he sees my hand touch my foot, he is so completely grossed out that he orders me to stop picking my foot at once.

(But you know what? A couple of years ago, Greg had plantar warts too. He spent many days applying the Compound W and picking at whatever dead or dying skin was on the bottom of his foot. So he's no better. And did I complain? Probably not! I can't really remember! But it's for better or worse now, buddy. In sickness and health!)
