That is the first and last time I ever want to hear the words "cellulitis," "tenosynovitis," and "lymphadenitis" in the same discussion as "blood poisoning," "heart," "brain," and "systemic."

My days have been full of IV antibiotics, ultrasounds, Xrays, and more. So while I've been absent with this stay at the hospital, I'm still going to be pretty scarce while I focus on recovery. I can't type with this hand, it has to stay elevated, I have regular check-ups on it... all that sort of goodness.

Y'all take care of yourselves.
