Bret is on the couch feeling sick. I spent part of the afternoon in Urgent Care having my hand operated on. And yet we've somehow managed to have a fantastic day and get lots done. Now if I can convince myself to get off my patootie and go pack for my 7:30 am flight...
Cam! Are you just going to leave us with the mystery of what may have happened to your hand? I hope you guys are doing better today!
ReplyDeleteLast Tuesday I woke up with a small bump on my hand. I couldn't tell if it was a spider bite or a painful zit. Each day it got increasingly larger, taller, and more painful. I didn't have any of the signs of a really scary spider bite so I kept waiting it out. By this Tuesday (yesterday) I decided it really was bad so I went into urgent care. They are pretty sure that it was not a spider bite but a MSRA staff infection. (Although Bret has explained to me what that means, I still don't understand how in the world I got something like that!) They sliced open the "bite", scooped out the core of the bump, tried to get all the juices out, and then put some medicated gauze and stuff in there. I'd post a picture of the hole in my wrist (it really is quite gross!) but I don't think everyone would appreciate that! They are running tests on it to see if it really is staff. I'll find out this weekend. Yuck.
