Glad you went then. That needle can sure cause that infection to be pretty bad and if it is in the bone, guess where you will be for a long while. Be sure to follow as the doctor says, happy specialist tomorrow. They will fix you up nice and happy like so you can sit down and sew again.

Emergecny room cost big bucks with my insurance, tomorrow I am going to my doc for a tetanus shot and pain pills. it is a thumping. I did not bleed on the strip though, typing is hard. I went back and finished the strips, cannot iron. Did anyone ever do this? any infection? how long to heal??
