Re: today....Judy---

Oh I'm OK. It's a little numb so very little pain. Actually hurting more now
that some feeling is returning.  Ran a splinter into my finger & it broke
off. Cellulitis, antibiotics, then an abcess, so opted for minor surgery to
heal it up a little quicker. I ended up with 7 stitches. The ER doc said
they've been seeing some resistant bacteria in "yardwork" wounds this year,
so I've been very cautious about getting crud on my hands until I was sure
it was well healed. Took some extra time off work too. Didn't want to do
patient care with stitches still in.
