Dunno about everybody else but have been thoroughly enjoying reading all the new threads. The Hungarian has told me I should elevate my arm so I'm stuck here like the statue of liberty sans torch, trying to type with my L hand. It's easy to use mouse for clicking and it has a scroll button, that makes it easy too.

Glad you're feeling better--and your typing has improved also :)

My husband, back in his deli days, once skinned his elbow on a chicken rack at work. Didn't think anything about it 'til his elbow balloned up and he got a fever. He had to keep his arm immobile for a week, plus a week of steroids and 4 weeks of antibiotics.

He was really lucky to have a bunch of middle-aged women employees at the time. They noticed the swelling before he did and nagged him mercilessly 'til he went to the doctor.

Wow, ouch, BK! Animal bites usually take only 24 hours to get infected, apparently, and there were only two puncture wounds, not a large scrape area, but the infected area was probably 4" x 9" with a little streak of a river running up--and up! I can't imagine being out of action for a week. Sheesh!

Next time this happens, as it surely will 'cause I'm like that (there's that stray on the yard I still need to catch for his chopping and shots), I'll get the treatment immediately, take no chances.
