Why Emery Boards In The Basket You Ask?

The oncology department has little baskets all around for patients. They contain donated caps, blankets, shawls etc. The Cancer Society donates little pink ribbon pins, and yes emery boards. Ok I'm what 17 weeks into chemo and Smeagol hands are looking a little worse for wear. I have had to use the boards to take the nails down to the nail bed as they retreat closer toward my cuticles. I am still using my imagination to see this as a purge of all things that need to go. Fine go away anyway possible. Go and stay away. I can file with the best of them. Maybe I should get a certification in nail technology while I'm doing so much tending.
