Blood, gore and other yucky things
I expect that this is more gross than most people want to read, so behind the cut it goes.
I am alive and mostly well. Sometime (at this point it is probably three weeks ago, but it is hard to remember) I did something to one of my fingers and it has been trying to heal. I have used bandaids and liquid bandages, fresh air and washing, and it hasn't been getting better. It bleeds or seeps either once a day or every time I wash my hands (or wash a dish or anything really). The scab alternates between forming and coming off with a distressing regularity. The finger is warm to the touch even when the rest of me is cool (or actually cold - I have been cold most of the last week). My finger is stiff and puffy and nothing else that needs healing seems to be healing either. I have an open blister on my foot, covered with a bandaid so it won't be irritated by shoes and socks. I have a few scrapes on my hands that are mostly OK.
I have been cold, dizzy and occasionally nauseous (mostly just cold with a dose of dizzy).
*sigh* This has been making me grumpy and mental for days. Many days.
