O.k. By the time I knew it, it was over! my thumbs doing quite well and so am I. I had to change the bandage last night for the first time since the surgery which was on Thursday. He just cut the tip off. I even still have my nail, he just cut behind it. Its just a bit smaller now. I didn't have a pic line put in but then again I haven't gone to the infectious disease dr. yet. All in all I think the worst is over. The ulser on my index finger is almost all gone too. The nail is growing back well; I can even type using that finger ;D. I'm really glad I can sit and write my feelings down and get responses from others that actually understand what I'm going through. All of ya'll have been a great help to me since I've found ya'll. Thanks!  |
