That is so scary about that lady's hand! I hope they don't have to amputate anymore. From Mari's post, it seems like the infection is pretty rare, but I can understand why you would want to avoid the water after seeing the pictures you saw... I'm sure they were awful.

I hope that the Benadryl helped with the swelling from your bite. Is it really itchy and/or sore?
BTW, how is the roof of your mouth now?

I'm glad that you're going to see your therapist today. It seems like your OCD is better, but it will be good to have an opportunity to talk to her about it

Congratulations on hunkering down and getting some of that paperwork done! Three hours is a lot of time to invest in a project (you don't like) like that... Great job!
