As it was my first time there I also wanted to train at the world headquarters and the dojo of the founder but I didn't want to insult my sponsor. I waited until later in the month and continued the six hour a day training at the host dojo. In order to also train at the hombu dojo I had to get up earlier and get to the 6 AM class there and then catch trains to make the 9 AM start time with my host. For better or worse I had also decided not to mention it to my host sensei.<BR/><BR/>The karmic retribution is that during my first visit to the hombu I broke my right big toe! I taped it up and rushed to my other class. That day the entire morning session was practicing shomen cuts with a boken which demanded pounding forward on to my right foot. I wondered if the sensei knew everything but I didn't dare show any discomfort. Since then I can tell you when its going to snow by how that joint feels!!!Yonjuhachi Roninhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03673233698635943007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18465541.post-1165501439962064792006-12-07T08:23:00.000-06:002006-12-07T08:23:00.000-06:00!!!18 months.

I've had my nail folded back about halfway, and my nail was fine after a couple of weeks.<BR/><BR/>According to this website:<BR/><BR/>http://www.webmd.com/hw/health_guide_atoz/sig256776.asp<BR/><BR/>"Once a nail separates from the nail bed for whatever reason, it will not reattach. A new nail will have to grow back in its place. Nails grow back slowly. It takes about 6 months for a fingernail and up to 18 months for a toenail to grow back."<BR/><BR/>18 months!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Mirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01918610819952156537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18465541.post-1165333085276939602006-12-05T09:38:00.000-06:002006-12-05T09:38:00.000-06:00I can imagine their concern.And ouch.Do toenails g...I can imagine their concern.<BR/>And ouch.<BR/><BR/>Do toenails grow back?Mathieuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06914289317924626891noreply@blogger.com
