An interesting Wednesday

Yesterday, I put up a couple of posts. In my post about my brother, Bill's birthday I tried to to add a link about my brother being on 60 minutes on Sunday. However, this just ended up not working well. So, if you notice a couple of random posts that are supposed to be links and they are not working, that is because I could not do what I wanted to. So, if you want to see the link go to 60 minutes and find the story on afganistan and you should see him.
In other news, yesterday I ended up having to go to the Prima Care doctor. If you have not been there they are pretty good, I have gone a few times in the past couple of years. Here is what was going on. On Sunday, I woke up and at some point during the day my left thumb was really hurting. It was a pounding, throbbing pain. The pain was still there on Monday and Tuesday and Wednesday, had gotten worse. When, I woke up on Wednesday, I had a strange discoloration on my thumb and they pain was worse. I went over to my parents house and showed my mom and she said I needed to have it looked at. So, we went to lunch and then I dropped my mom off to play bridge, her car was at the car dealership to get fixed. So, I went to the Prima Care place. There were a lot of people in there for a Wednesday afternoon. I had to wait about an hour, then I finally got back in one of the rooms and the doctor came in. She took one look at my thumb and said it had an infection and that was what the yellowish discoloration was in my thumb. So, she had to take a sharp knife and cut my skin with out giving me any numbing agent. Which was fine because I actually did not feel it because of the pain. As soon as she did that, all of this gross puss stuff came out since the infection was so deep. Then the doctor gave me a prescription for some antibiotics and a cream to put on my thumb after soaking it a couple of days.
Last night, I took the medicine and was fine and then, this morning I took the medicine as well with out eating. That was such a big mistake, let's just say in the future I will eat before I have any antibiotics. I had to call my mom and she said the reason I was not feeling well was because I did not have anything in my stomach. So, yet again I have learned my lesson. That was my interesting afternoon. However, yesterday Ben and I went to see Owen Temple play and it was so much fun to see him again.
