I think the Splinter Hemmorhage thing... darn my spelling today... is a part of why there can be reddish lines under nails...

When I had a lot of Metronidazol to kill the clostridia that was causing my tetanus, it also reduced the wideness and the intensity of the red lines, especially the one on my right thumb which was the worst. There was a red blotch at the top of the line that was about the size of a lentil...

That same location is where I'm having the most indication of an infection now, and I know from the periodontist that I have an infection around my old dental implants.

I had surgery scheduled twice which I had to cancel because of court things. Then after that I didn't have a reliable ride... the city rides had left me waiting outside in the cold after I voted for so long that I was really sick again when I got home... and for a long time thereafter...
