Ouch

Line 'em up Melody. I'm on virtual drinks only for the next week.

I had an appointment with the doctor to check if I needed any adjustment
on the treatment on my knee now the swellings gone down. Doctor thinks
it's just cartilage and fluid so it's just stay on the large pink horse
pills. The bit that's stuck me on the wagon is my right ring finger. It
was looking a bit red and puffy so I asked him to look at it while I was
there. Turns out the small bit where Mungo had caught me a while back
while playing with a catnip mouse had got infected and my finger was
nice and full of pus right along the edge of the nail bed. The only
thing to do is drain it so he whips out this knife that I'd swear has a
blade the size of something I'd use to cut lino and goes for it. Funny
enough it didn't hurt, until right near the end when he was finishing
cleaning out the edge of the nail but now it's bloody annoying every
time I try to get something out my pocket and I'm on antibiotics for a
week! What I get for teasing the cat I suppose.

Hellfire, what a woeful pest. Much sympathy.

I have a swollen knee meself (pulled the tendons behind it and wrenched the
hamstrings around generally, and it's playing hob with all the muscle in my
calf too, and bits clear down to the far side of the ankle, flexion, *what*
flexion?) so I am full of sympathy about the knee even before you got on to
the finger. Tell Mungo from me, wash more, you cat you! If he'd made a
proper job of cleaning his feet when he came in he wouldn't have tracked
mud into your nice clean house and into your nice clean finger.

Be better soon, you hear me? Can't have the handything unfit for duty, we
never know what those woodlice may eat next.
