Finger Pain?


I told you that when I get ill I turn into such a baby - I have no delusions about that.  But the oddest things happen to me so I usually don't mess around or delay getting things checked out.  On Wednesday night I was watching tv and then I was like ouch my finger hurts.  How weird to have finger pain?  I did not shut it in anything and I have been good about not biting my nails so was just like hmmmm.  I went to bed and then in the middle of the night it was hurting so much that it woke me up!  I got up took some ibuprofen and then went back to sleep. When I got up my cuticle was clearly infected.  I had a big pus bubble, my whole finger tip was swollen plus it was killing me.  I went to work but could not take it so I called the doctor's office and made an appointment.  The doctor said I am going to give you some pain medicine and then clean it out.  Well the pain killer was a shot right into the center of the whole mess.  Holy crap did that KILL!  And then when she was cleaning it, it still hurt.  Anyway by time I walked out my finger looked like the picture above and I had a prescription.  This has never happen to me and it is so strange.  My sister told me I was a big baby and I should have just poked it myself.  She is fucking insane.  Anyway I believe I have survived the whole finger episode and I am happy about that.
