Dear So and So

[Catrin]

Dear Right Thumb,

You have been infected for 3 weeks and I've taken good care of you. I appreciate that you aren't causing me much pain, I really do. However, when the Keflex didn't cure you, I figured the Sulfa they prescribed would work better than it has, AND I've even been soaking you regularly to draw stuff out of you. I even kept you all bandaged and protected when living at the hospital this week, given the dangerous nature of those places.

I would prefer to spend my last day off before returning to the office on the mountain bike, not spending my gas money for a visit to the doctor.

Please be much better in the morning so I can go play in the dirt with my mountain goat.

Thank you

Catrin

Good grief, Catrin, get thee to a doctor. 3 weeks is a LONG time. yikes..

Tonight Donald walked me to the outside of the hospital to breathe the sweet air. but he had to go back in and we still don't know for how long. he keeps doing his laps. That is the best thing.. walked a mile yesterday and more than a mile today. I sure hope those surgeons can figure this thing out.

I've been seeing the nurse practicioner at my work clinic, but do have an appt. with my dr. this afternoon since I am still off work. It isn't a MRSA infection (my RN sister who has seen it says it would be far worse and much more painful) but it is just being stubborn. Like me.

I'm glad to hear it's not MRSA, I've had three of those, they are INSANELY painful and take forever to go away. I've also got significant scarring. *shudder*

That is what I've heard, so was glad to hear my sister pronounce it something else. She is an RN in a pediatrician's office and sees pretty much everything. I am seeing my doc this afternoon, who knows, perhaps I just got a splinter in there somewhere and that is why the antibiotics really aren't doing much.

No dirt today though, rainy outside and my apartment was trashed - so clean all day today...

Dear Rain:

Please stop tonight so I can get in a GOOD ride tomorrow. Thank you.

To Those in Charge:

No, this is not right. You've made the sun come up earlier, but now it's going *down* earlier as well. You're not listening to what I want! Can I speak to a manager?

I totally agree.

Dear professor:
This is insane. I never said I'd do that project, just that it was interesting. Now you want me to put together a decision tree, complete with references, stating how I'd purify, analyze and test this stuff. In a week. Right before finals. When I have 3 papers to write, a project and presentation, and a final to study for. While it's a useful exercise for the future, now is the worst possible time. Ugh. Hopefully I can get the project done tomorrow...
BTW: references for commonplace procedures? BS.

I had to see a frickin' surgeon this summer to get a thorn out of my finger. It was too small and too deep for my regular doctor to do in her office.

Hoping yours heals up soon!

He is talking about slicing my finger open and draining it but is giving my finger 3 more days for the new antibiotic to work - send lots of good healing thoughts so my poor thumb won't get abused!
