Purrs for Unka Fred's finger to get well fast fast.

I just hate hearing this! We're purring nonstop for you.

(hooman note):
There is some good news. The doctors have taken out all the hardware
and pronounced me fit, hoping nothing comes back in the way of
infection. The black lining on this silver cloud is that I forgot my
medicines at the hospital, You know how you take them in with you when
you go, so TED knows what's been prescribed. I did this and was so
traumatized by the treatment that I forgot to ask for them back. When
I got home I realized I had no auntie-biotics.
But I'll go back in the morning and see if I can get them. But so far,
s good. It's supposed to be OK now. Tine will tell.

Fangu, Stormmee. Just an update. I have my pills and everything is
going not too badly. There is still some swelling in the finger, but
it may be due to irritation from the exercises which really pull on the
tendon. There is no redness and it doesn't seem to be spreading. So
we'll continue for now and maybe it'll go away.

Purrs that your finger will get better fast Unka Fred. When Meowmie had
problem with her paw from too much computer and piano, the
physiotherapist use needles on her paw. She said the needles didn't
hurt. Maybe you can try it too if you don't mind needles. Me, I will
stay far far away from hateful needles.

I'm becoming increasingly convinced that this is a flare up of the
infection, because it's starting to swell up my hand again. I'll give
it just another hour or so and see what's happening with it.
I already had the operation, but they did it through little keyhole
incisions and injected saline through the tendon sheath like it was a
garden hose. That's a weird feeling I can tell you. But If this is
the infection again, I'll probably be in for more of it. I really
don't like this part.

The cats don't like being left alone while I'm at the hospital either.
It's no fun for any of us.
