This is going to be short as I'm dictating to Grant

A couple of days ago I started getting this nasty infection by my fingernail - just like a hard swollen red spot that I hoped would go away. But instead it got worse, like bigger and more painful until yesterday I started seeing a red line going down my finger and ever on to my hand from it. SO we went to the stupid hospital to get it looked at and basically I ended up having hand surgery. Well, that is the respectable version. Really it was more like "fingertip surgery". Anyways, the point is I am now working with a full finger cast on one hand and oxycodone.

More later.

So exciting, I know.

Oh my gosh! I've never heard of anything like that happening to someone before! I'll pray for a swift recovery.

GEEZ!

I KNOW, right? Geez. Apparently they see this a lot. I walked in and showed the entry desk nurse guy and he was like, ah-hmm, parynchia with cellulosis, and it's spreading - you bite your nails? O_O
