1. Not only did I get a tetanus shot for my sliced thumb this afternoon, my doc sent me home with oral and topical antibiotics. Nice to have the office visit justified. And yet another good thing about having a husband; it hadn’t even occurred to me that I should have a tetanus shot after my little incident yesterday until he mentioned it over the phone last night as we were having our evening chat. Oh, and I got a little side of whooping cough vaccine with my tetanus shot. Bonus!
2. Yesterday, Wichita State University (our son’s college) beat the big-name and big-headed University of Kansas in the national basketball tournament. Face! But the final score wasn’t the best part of the game. The highlight came when our governor (who is doing his damnedest to run our schools into the ground, line his big-money buddies’ pockets, and generally send our state to hell in a handbasket) was BOOED by the crowd while his face was shown on the big screen in the field house. Apparently there are a few people left in Kansas who recognize what a travesty this guy’s administration has been.
And that’s my afternoon in a nutshell.
Mom Goes On 
A couple of days ago, I was trying to pull nails from the molding we tore down in the bathroom. We can reuse them. Anyway, I pulled on a nail and it snapped back, hitting the joint on my left thumb. Of course bleeding ensued and I covered it with a BandAid. That evening my whole thumb was sore, red and a little swollen looking. Thankfully, I didn’t tell my husband and my thumb is fine. Still a little stiff, but really, it’s fine. I have had a tetanus shot in the last couple of years so I know I’m okay. Glad you had your thumb seen. 🙂

Yeah, me too. But your injury sounds yucky! I’m glad it’s getting better!

The cut is about 1/8′ maybe? I think I hit the joint just right and it caused some bruising. If I can still knit, then I’m okay.

Yes! That’s one thing that’s driving me nuts about my injury – I really can’t knit right now. And I was working on my first turkish stitch project!

What are you making? That’s a nice little lacy looking stitch.

I hope your thumb heals quickly. I had to have stitches in a finger too and it took a long time to heal. Oh, yeah, I got the tetanus shot too. Feel better soon!

It’s feeling pretty good – except for just now when I looked at it to put on the topical antibiotic the doc gave me. Why, oh why did I look?!?

yuck! Hope it’s not hurting too bad. I sliced my finger years ago and it required stitches, I swear it still hurts every now and then!

Ooh, I think you’re right. I had stitches in a toe long ago and that hurt forever. Also I fainted when they took the stitches out!
