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.

Two hand injury posts in a row on my FL! No more of this!

Is this from too much blogging, Tina?

In all seriousness, that sounds like total suckage and I hope it heals quickly and you feel better soon. *hugs*

Oooh, I'm really curious about this - hope you're feeling better though. I had something similar happen to me - while on vacation in Croatia, of all places. What exactly did they do to your finger, if you don't mind me asking? With me, they basically cut out a chunk of flesh just below the nail. It's healed pretty well, but it doesn't look like the middle finger on my right hand and I suspect it never will...

I hope you are quickly past this and back home with a swift recovery! Take care!!

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

GEEZ!

Okay, so I went and google image searched this (like a winner) and it turns out I get this ALL THE TIME from chewing my nails... I've just never gone to the doctor about it. I just put "owwie balm" on it (this herbal medicinal stuff we got ages ago) and it goes away overnight. Who knew!
