you go, so TED knows what's been prescribed. I did this and was so
traumatized by the treatment that I forgot to ask for them back. When
I got home I realized I had no auntie-biotics.

That's GREAT news, Fred! Your first post really freaked me out, what
with the risk of losing a finger. I'm soooo glad it's "so far, so
good" and hope you got your medications back yesterday...you'll need
to keep taking Auntie Biotic for awhile, I suspect.


Yes, and I'm taking them. There is now very little chance of the
infection coming back now, but wow did I get through the Emergency Room
quickly this last time. Turns out that the exercises to recover
mobility in the finger, I was doing were irritating the tendon and
causing the swelling that I had noticed. There were no more bacteria
involved, so I got out of the hospital and went to a party.
I'm even starting to play piano a little, although I can't quite
squeeze a clothes pin yet. The finger is still too weak. Likely
tomorrow I will, though. Starting to catch up on my laundry and
cleaning after a week of not using my right hand.

Fred.

missed cleaning ourownselves litterboxes. Grrrrrrrr.

Diana, Ryan, and Cinnamon.
