Have you ever got a toenail removed? How is the healing process?

When i was little me and my sister were going outside in the backyard for a while. She ran out before me and “jokingly” slammed the door… On my foot… There was a small gap and it had ripped off my whole big toe nail. It took a very long time to heal and was painful for the first few days, and would flare up as the nail healed.
