    I'm tired right now but I'll 1 hand type more tomorrow. I'm obviously back from vac. and had sutures out today.

    The stitches are out and it feels alot better now, no more burning and pulling sensations. I'm still supposed to wear the finger splint and not bend it until Tues, but typing is a BEAR if I have that thing on, and it is feeling better. Still hurts like the dickens if I bump it.

    You never realize how many things you use a body part for until it's injured! I figured just a single finger wouldn't be a big deal, but it affects pretty much EVERYTHING! I can't wait until it heals up completely. There is still a bit of swelling right under the injury but the rest of the swelling has completely gone. I guess I'm not going to take for granted a single finger ever again. lol

    BTW the dog's name that bit me......

    Happy!!!

    Guess he wasn't too happy that day huh??

    Pretty ironic huh? By the way, did you ever find out what set the dog off? He wasn't a vicious dog was he?

    So glad to hear that you're healing nicely. I can only imagine how sore your hand must have been and still is. Happy needs a new name. LOL
    Blessings,

    Lizbud - we figure the dog probably had arthritis and he may have just been achey when I picked him up. The dog has never been ornery at all before

    BAD NEWS!!!! My wound is now infected!!! Yesterday I saw some pus oozing out, so I put a huge gob of antibiotic ointment on it with a bandaid last night and today the whole thing has opened up, and is oozing nasty stuff. It feels warm and puffy underneath the open area as if there is more infection under there. I already took my last antibiotic pill Thurs. so I guess I'll have to get more now. *sigh*
