Thanks, Alan.
I am calling them in the a.m. to get instructions. Sure they will send me
to the er since I do not have a local doctor. It is not loose enough to
fiddle with, plus .... well, let's just say it doesn't feel too good to move
it around any. *s* rather get that Novocain in the toe, and let them do
what they gotta do. I cleaned it really good with hydrogen peroxide. With
my compromised immune system, I figure they'll give me an oral antibiotic.
I appreciate your relating your personal experience. *vbg*
