update on my baby toe! i swear .. i wouldn't even give it a second thought . except for the diabetes-thingie!
i was 'seeping' little drops of blood .. (and i thought the wound had been GLUED totally shut!) decided i'd better get to the doc right away. he was at the hospital .. but came in just as his nurse was 'cleaning it up' .. and i know i complain to honey hunk all the time about how he 'scares' me with things he'll say .. (twice .. he had me thinking i 'might' have breast cancer!!) but hank says .. be GLAD that he puts you through immediate and complete tests (even though we might be paying his and his doc friends he refers us to .. mortagage payments!) hank says .. IF you do get something .. he'll find it and do what it takes to have it taken care of before it does turn 'bad'.
well, he bopped in just before i left his office .. looked at it .. and said it 'bothered' him! CRAPOLA! i just told him 'DON'T SCARE ME!!!' .... i think he got the message .. but he said (as he always does) .. i'm going to call in a favor of a specialist friend of mine (because of your diabetes) .. he called .. and got me an appointment for as soon as i could hobble over there! (across the street).
LORDY! i think EVERYONE knows HANK .. and they are all in 'awe' of his adventures! usually talking with him about half my appointments time about boats and hiking and sailing and travelling!) this doc was no different! BUT .. he was VERY re-assuring .. (my regular doc's nurse thought it might be infected .. she took a swab of it to have a lab check it) .. meanwhile, the specialist cleaned it (i was supposed to be changing the bandage each day .. BUT .. the WRITTEN record that i had from the hospital said .. (and I was also told): do NOT get it wet .. and do NOT put 'ointments' or other antibiotics on it because the 'glue' can come lose! they had also TAPED it to my next toe (and the cut is BETWEEN those toes on my pinkie-toe) .. and the instructions said to NOT untape it .. WELL .. how can i CLEAN it if i can't untape it or get it wet!
WELL .. i got 'clotted blood' and goop built up on it! the doc cleaned it out .. said it was NOT infected (from his mouth to God's ear!) he said he wasn't even sure i needed to be on the antibiotic .. but HONIES .. "homey ain't comin' offa' that until it is all used up!! (he said that was o.k. too). I go back to him on Monday .. UNLESS .. it starts hurting, i get a fever, throw up, swelling, red streaks!)
meanwhile .. i am to put 'betadine' on it daily .. and change the dressing .. they gave me a cool 'shoe' .. (i asked if they also had it in PINK .. and could they give me a matching one for my RIGHT foot ... they didn't and they didn't!) this shoe makes me hold my toes straight without 'taping' them.
well, this little 'sissy' is gonna' go put her feet up and cut out some dollies while watching movies!
NOW .. ya'll regale me with tales of your latest 'toothache, ingrown-toenail, splinter or tick-bite!'!!!

Thand the goodness Frannie that you were able to have your tootsie checked out and that it seems to be healing despite the mixed up directions. Please stay off your feet gurl, I know that is hard for you, take some time to relax and chill for as long as it takes.
Can I regale you with my tales of woe of farming instead of toothe aches and such? Not woe really, just faaaaaatiiiiiguuuuueee! Took an hour long bath this evening to get the dirt and sweat off me. I'm taking a break tomorrow and I started with wine tonight!
