Had a little incident the other day that’s making it a tad hard to type this post. I was reaching under my kitchen sink to grab a bag for garbage. The bottom of the counter is particle board. I had my hand too close to it and ended up scraping my fingers along the bottom of the counter. Two big splinters sliced under my middle fingernail. They went about half way down my nail. I quickly pulled them out but the tips broke off of both and are still under my nail. The pain was intense – I honestly couldn’t believe how bad it was. No wonder a torture technique used to be wedging wood under people’s nails. I’m really glad I’m on a low dose daily antibiotic, so that’s a little comforting with regards to is getting infected. However, the pain into the night and all of yesterday (this happened two days ago) was incredible. It was throbbing down my finger, into my hand down to my wrist. My little mother looked up some ways to fix this issue and said to try soaking my finger in epsom salts. Did that for about two hours last night and I must admit the pain is a bit better today. The swelling is down a bit too. Yup, I’m a klutz.
On a bright note, did have a pretty good day yesterday. It was Mike’s birthday and I’ve been looking forward to giving him his present for weeks now. I’m taking him to St. Jacob’s this Friday and we’re staying over until Saturday. We’ll do the town on Friday, then to the Stone Crock Restaurant for suppies. Then the market on Saturday. In addition to this joyous trip I’ve blessed him with, I gave him these charming pillows:
Almost as cute as my hairless cats, I would like to share with you a pic of Mike’s new niece. Piper MacKenzie born on March 15th:
Can’t wait to meet the new little goober. Speaker of goobers, Boo joined Mike and I last night while we were watching a movie. I think she was trying out her Statue of Liberty impression:
Ok, the finger is a-throbbin’ so I’m going to keep this one short.
Today’s symptoms: Felt kinda yucky. Going through another stint of insomnia, and the lack of sleep is doing a number. quite weak today and feeling general yucky MS symptoms such as aches and pains and a headache.
