The no longer blue toe

[continuation of The Blue Toe]

Kiefer went for his swimming class as usual. After swimming for a bout 20mins, we found that the clot was not visible anymore. I thought that the blood vessels probably constricted so much that the blue can't be seen. I thought it'll probably reappear when he dries off and warms up.

However, he knocked his toe against the wall of the pool just as he was coming up from the last activity and broke the skin on that toe. It started bleeding. It's been 5 hours and the toe looked normal, no more clot, but the nail looked ghastly white. Think the nail is dead and will probably still fall off. So I think he bled the clot out.
