Ouch! That left a mark!

I had a heart cath yesterday. But that's not what left the mark.

Three nurses saw my toenails and abolutely jumped all over me for cutting them too short. You have to understand that cutting my toenails is one of the most traumatic experiences I go through. They are tough as, well, nails. I have to soak them in water for a long time before they will accept clipping at all. They splinter and crack and tear down to the nail bed. Because of that, I only trim them when they need it.

Should I be using a professional pedicurist? A saw? Perhaps a laser?

How do you handle it?

And do you get yelled at? I was really surprised at the nurses' reaction. They must have seen some things in their career that make them react like that.
