You do a good job with this.
You get better when I do it you'll see, oh I can do a little bit more.
You probably don't do enough, which is how when we're learning how to do new things you're never very careful.
Again, reduce this now because you did these other ones yesterday.
I'm just gonna reduce a little bit more okay they said there's nothing here
anymore huh let me just see it's more just to have a look I'll get there in a
second good honey I don't know I'm gonna see I just did this to kind of have a
look because it's I'm just trying to see a little bit right now so I just take
the rasp and clean it up a little bit but I'll come in and just see what we
got there was something there last time yeah but we'll just do this here first
okay yeah you bring it the pressure off the nail because the pressure is what
caused this problem so we haven't reduced the nail first okay still nail
still pretty hard in here and I always start on the outside it's okay honey
okay it's okay sweetie just a little pocket okay just want to expose it a
little bit it's looking good okay so if you think about I always say a mushroom
trying to come out of a hole that's too small it looks it looks pretty good
though you guys are doing good at this okay good honey and then so I'm trying
to open up this is the mushroom this is crab meat trying to get this out but
there's a big mass inside right so we're gonna open up around there and then
ideally we'd soak it there's a little bit of blood right there so again I
don't want to do that just work my way
good honey it's okay it's okay it's okay it's okay okay it's okay good girl it's
not much more to do with this one right now you just want to make sure you can
get to the edge of the abscess because what happens is it kind of seals off so
it's like this and inside there's the thing so try to open up that edge which
is what I did there but again you guys looks really good it's okay it's okay
shower it in the bowl is soaking yes because when you soak with hot water
