Ok, so the little fluid sack on my left middle finger? its staff, a bacterial infection. because my immune system is already lowered and i need an immune system to fight this bacterial infection, plans to increase my celcept have dramatically halted. i am to stay on regular doses until the bacteria goes away. but staff is becoming hard to rid of, my finger looks like a war-zone every time i unwrap it, soak it, clean it and rebandage it. i'm sorry to say that despite all this, i indeed went to the farm today and helped out as best i could without using my left hand. i watered the barn but didn't touch anything too dirty or possibly infected with other germs. i stayed away from people, since it could spread from skin-to-skin contact and i did not ride, because in the case that my finger got aggitated, i would want to be near a bandage, a faucet and some anti-bacterial ointment.
but we finished chores quickly, thanks to the fact that there are less horses on southmowing than in the past. and my friend and i got out sorting through our groom boxes and winter belongings stashed away in the barn owner's back room. now it looks spiffy and clean and i can wash my coats and gloves and give things away that don't fit....
in all, this day has been affective, as usual. but let me leave u with this, sometimes, the simple things in life like cleaning out groom boxes can bring back the sharpest, happiest memories. more to come.........
