Update on the writing front!

Okay, nothing too exciting, still doing the rewrite and re-edits of the 2nd H&S scifi romance book, but I'm getting through it!

My bum finger, however, that's a whole other ball game. Is it a whitlow? An infected finger? Or - horrors of horrors, surely it couldn't be...GOUT?????? I'm trying not to freak myself out. It's only sore, swollen and red from the first knuckle down, so I'm giving it a day or two before I hightail it to the doctor. I mean, if it's a whitlow, it should come to a head soon. If it's something else, well, I guess my finger will just drop off before I see the doctor. Once I see it drooping and waving goodbye to me, it's time. But maybe it won't do that. Maybe it'll just, you know, go away.
The swelling, not the finger.

I've been advised by another nurse to put a baking soda poultice on it, so I'm doing that in a minute.

Meanwhile, I'm typing with my forefinger carefully kept out of the way. I've only bumped it twice today with teeth-grinding results, so so far, so good.

Ahhh, life, you do know how to give me lemons!

BTW - good advice - do NOT Google pictures of whitlows! Freaked msyelf out yet again...
