Never a dull moment for us........

Well, Rebecca and Matthew are doing well at daycare and at home. Nothing new to report on them. This time it's MOM's turn for something unusual.

Being a diabetic, everyone always told me in my diabetic education classes that if you get a wound anywhere on your body, to make sure it starts healing up ASAP! Well, apparently I hurt my finger (right index finger) on Saturday and never thought again about it. **I slammed it in the cabinet while putting away some glass dishes.** It didn't hurt, it wasn't red, nothing.

FAST FORWARD to Monday morning......

I wake up, my hand or rather my index finger on my right hand is throbbing so I look down to see what is going on and lo and behold, I have an infection that is already warm and a little bit big. Ok, I put antibiotic goo on it and cover it up and go to work. Around 2pm, I ended up going to the nurse at our work because it's HUGE! I'm talking HUGE and getting bigger, but what was worrying me was that the "heat" was going down my finger. (along with the throbbing) She said to "get to my doc".

Tuesday, I give in, go to the doc and he says I most likely bruised it inside and that the infection is part of it. So..........short end of it? I'm on 2000mg of Keflex antibiotics and he splinted it to keep the infection from traveling! Yep, 2000!!!!! My finger is already down in size though. It doesn't hurt as bad, but it's still nasty! A little purple, a little red, a little white (as in pure white from infection still in there).........nice, huh?! I know most diabetics can lose their fingers/toes easily, but this was darn too close!!! And from a squish in the cabinet? Wow.....

Anyway, Roy gets to wash dishes and get his hands WET for awhile! YEAH! YEAH! *doing the cabbage patch* Hey, anytime I don't have to wash dishes is a good day to me!
