Don't feel well today. Finger is still swollen and infected. Think I'll call the doctor's office today for advice. Also coming down with cold so feel generally icky.
I have an appointment to see a nurse practitioner at 1:45 pm to hopefully treat my finger. Still feeling yucky overall though. She gave me antibiotics, but if they don't help or it gets worse, I need to go to Surgery to get it drained. Looks pretty damn nasty right now.
Gave in around 7:00 pm and had dad take me to Urgent Care to have the finger drained. Pain was much worse and it seemed greener and had developed ablack streak that wasn't there this afternoon. ER guy said it was good that I came in as the swelling prevented the antibiotic from reaching the affected area. Feels much better with the release of pressure! I'm supposed to continue warm soaks, then put on bacitracin and gauze and take vicadin if needed, but for now it doesn't even really hurt.
