Gross Nail
Okay now my thumb hurts worse than last night. After poking and prodding it all day today and running on two hours of sleep, we managed to get out about 1/4 of the splinter. Its in really deep. just to get to the tip of it I had to cut my nail painfully low. I cant cut it any lower im in the nail bed. and its still there. So ive been soaking it in hot saline water to draw out the infection, because yeah its gonna get infected. My thumb cant take anymore attempts at getting the splinter out for right now. So im going to be soaking my thumb three times a day to keep blood poisoning from happening and the nail should push the splinter out ans it grows. I can see the tip of the splinter now but it hurts too bad to try again. Damn this chair. I think the rest of the night I will relax, watch tv, and get a goods night sleep tonight. Last night i tried to wake Chris up when it happened, but he had to work at 4am. So this morning after waking up off and on, Chris woke me up to say sorry for not staying awake. Thats when the pain got intense. Im on ib profen and im just going to have to wait for the nail to grow out. my finger is swollen but not too bad, mostly just the nail.im taking good care not to get infected more. There is the punture wound and thats why is infected now. In fact Im typing one handed while soaking my thumb. I rock. Cari called but I missed the phone, so I called her back and shr’s onthe phone with her mom now, so when she’s done shes supposed to call back. I think she had her appointment today. Stay tuned for an update.
ouch! hope it gets better soon!
