Lori hope you're feeling better. Remember to get plenty of rest. (don't look at the time of this posting)
Skaduzy for you cracks and splits in your fingers, pierce a vitamin E capsule and put the oil on the split, during the day and again at bedtime. I sometimes get them on my thumbs and the vitamin E heals it in a day or two. It is very good for healing skin injuries and soreness. I first learned about it when breastfeeding-it was the best for sore nipples, and it wasn't harmful to the baby. Last summer when I sliced the tip of my thumb off it was slow healing and then after a few days I decided to start putting the E on and healing improved exponentially.
