4mm? Certainly, excercise will have a certain amount of influence on bones, increasing calcium absorption (due to pulling of tendons on bones and pressure) but not on nails, as far as I know.
If it was your toenails, maybe it had to do with the walking (?) A fungal infection?
Nails are...

quite a handful there, Br David! :-) This calls for tea, a few hours, and a couple of rocks to sit on, on the Camino.
Anyway, its difficult to explain one's bond with one's Faith. To me it is true love...it IS a love relationship...I love the Church like I love my mother...and therefore I...
Ah, I did see that letter before, but I think it is applicable only to the Jubilee Year, and this year is not one of them.

All the better if it is true, since abdominal shots are very painful!

yes Michael, that is exactly what I'm going for :-) Purgatory is not on my top ten list of places to visit...
And now that I know a plenary indulgence is given if you succumb to the ills and perils on the Camino, I shall be much less afraid of deadly vipers and rabid dogs :)

This is what I was going off of, and simply wondered if anyone could confirm:
"The plenary indulgence - never, as far as we know, a printed document - is still granted to those who visit the Cathedral and the tomb of the Apostle at any time during a Holy Year, make their confession, attend...
Brother David, things seem to burn down all around you! :)
Fascinating story, and I suspect you of many an inner revelation,...as must be after a lifetime of wandering and struggling. Hesse is on the list of "authors of my heart," right after Mann; the contrast of N-Goldmund is an old theme...
