Billy,

I know what you mean about writing. I was a huge creative writing girl when young. Then, I kept a birthday list of about 80 people and always sent their bday cards on time before my injury. Then, for my senior relatives, I always wrote to them, as receiving a letter was important to them - before my injury...

Now I am not a doctor but this new infection you're talking about has me really worried.

You could have dying tissues - necrophyising tissue? Did you get a bite of some sort?

OR, you could have one of the new nasty infections everyone is warning you about that can be quite fast and quite damaging and move to internal organs.

SO PLEASE go to an ER or clinic today if you have insurance or a few extra bucks and get some high potency, long acting antibiotics - not the short run kind and get some real medical care going. I understand the lancing may have been helpful but I think now you need to stay on say, Cipro (I'm not a doc) until you have improvement on the way.

PLEASE I am worried for you.


How is your finger today???

(As someone so eloquently said, I think it was you, I do not have good luck. It is true, if something is going to be a bum batch, or trouble or stray bullet, it will hit me. But I think of it as GOOD LUCK, that I am like the canary in the mine, the first to feel things, the first to understand that perhaps something like a new drug is not so good, and I write to the powers that be and get action before too many people get hurt. And guess what, I found a doctor in a brand new book who looks like she wants info. on TOS and she's only learned about men and vascular TOS so wait until I track her down and give her a low-down on all of the women with neuro TOS and how it relates to the computer! It is as if GOd answered my prayers almost immediately!!! So yes, I have bad luck, but somehow it always turns into the good...

God bless you and please get that hand looked at again before we hear worse. Love to you.

Is Billy a boy or girl? Can't tell these days from names.
