I have a pain in the finger and it’s keeping me from quilting. In fact, I have to type without using my left ring finger or I have to peel myself off the ceiling. So I’m doing the old-fashioned hunt and peck with my index fingers so I don’t accidently use the ailing digit.
Since I found out I have diabetes, I have to stick my finger two times a day. I switch around so I don’t poke myself in the same place. So, when I had a real tender spot that kept growing, I was a little worried. I have to be very careful now about infections of any kind. I started out with a tiny red spot, went to a 1/4″ red spot that got hot, to a throbbing 1/2″ spot tonight. I showed it to my husband and he informs me that I have a spider bite!
So, I soaked, he poked and drained and now I have a Garfield bandage waving in the air as I type.
I can’t knit, can’t quilt, can’t sew, can’t type. Wah!
I’m hoping for a speedy recovery. I gotta get back to work!
