Hello everyone I just wanted to say hi and thank you for all the lovely messages and prayers and buck up messages you have sent I really appreciate them all.
Thank you also to my blog sis Ritu for letting you all know.
I am home safe now after a few very painful and scary days. I have to keep my arm elevated most of the time hence the snazzy blue sling .

Hubby took this shot of unawares!
I am on Mammoth amounts of heavy duty antibiotics. I am grateful to the hospital,the I.V drugs , family, friends and last but not least you wonderful people. I am also glad to have all my fingers, toes,and limbs. I will be writing a blog about how this all came about from a tiny scratch. No, not because I want to bore you all but because I think it is important we all know how these things can happen and when to react and go and get help. I believe if hubby and I had left seeking extra help (even though I had seen two doctors in the previous two days) it might of been too late. The outcome would not of been so good.
Anyway I am not myself really yet, I am still in pain and very tired so I am closing now. I don’t feel up to blogging yet so I shall just be reading and commenting, or sleeping π΄.
It really just want to say thank you all and thank you God. π I hope to be back soon π

Poor you Willow!
Rest up, though it must be uncomfortable having your arm elevated like that all the time.
Sending oodles of positive thoughts your way.

Everything can change in a flash, we can not prepare for all eventualities. But as you point out forwarned is forarmed as they say. Get well soon Willow.

I am a natural left hander but was taught all learned things as a right hander, so it difficult.πππ
Jul 27, 2019 @ 01:02:28
A friend had the same problem. He was made to write with right hand along with many things, but used knife and a few thing with left hand. I donβt know if it caused any confusion. My husband uses left hand for major tasks. He must be lucky. β€ β€

Sorry, Willow, I’d no idea you’d nearly killed yourself. Get back on track soon and let us know how you did it so we can all have a go π

Will, do Jane, I knew I could rely on you for sympathy π€£π€£π€£π

Oh my goodness! I was so worried about you. That is exactly what I dealt with when I got all those cat bites. Except it was both hands that I needed to keep elevated and I had to have minor surgery on each puncture wound to remove the infected tissue. Sorry Gross. But I almost lost my right hand. I am so relieved to hear that you have all your fingers and toes. Yes. it is very important to let people know about quickly things can go downhill from what seems to be a minor injury! Praying for a speedy recovery. Big Hugs! β€
Jul 26, 2019 @ 16:41:25
It is so scary and painful isn’t it Kat.. My original scratch is still yellow with purple swelling, I hope they don’t have to mess with that too. I am relieved you were okay. People do need to know πππ
Jul 26, 2019 @ 18:17:58
Yes they do. Very scary stuff!!! π³
Jul 26, 2019 @ 18:29:37
Indeed π
Jul 26, 2019 @ 16:42:18
I am so happy to know you are getting better, Willow. You gave us all a fright. Look after yourself and get better quickly. Hugs.

Oops sent you the wrong thing. Here is a potted version. I had a tiny cut on my knuckle, Tuesday before last, cleaned it dressed it checked it , four days later it started playing up, by last Monday it was red and painful. I saw the dr, no real advice. Tuesday back to drs he gave antibiotics as spreading up the arm Wednesday so bad back to Drs then casualty. 24 hrs I.V. antibiotics in hospital just avoided an operation. Home now grateful to have all my fingers, toes, and limbs. Rather scary and extremely painful.
Jul 30, 2019 @ 21:53:52
Good Goddess! I’m so thankful you are all right. That had to be so scary! I’m thinking of you. β€
Jul 30, 2019 @ 22:31:07

Aug 07, 2019 @ 20:10:48
Oh no! Sorry, I hadn’t read this. Will have to go back and read about what happened. Scary – so glad you’re okay. Forgive me for not knowing about this!β€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈ
Aug 07, 2019 @ 20:12:59
No need to apologize how would you, it’s been three weeks now and I am slowly on the mend π I have all my fringers,toes and limbs . π
Aug 07, 2019 @ 20:20:35
Well, I should never have gotten so far behind. It’s certainly a lesson for all of us. I’m so klutzy, always have a cut or bruise or scrape on my hands. Will be more vigilant now after reading of your experience. Really glad you’re all right. Do take care! β€οΈβ€οΈπΊππΊ
Aug 07, 2019 @ 20:25:48
I am going to write a full post on how this happened and how long it has taken to get over it. It not your fault you didn’t know. I want to spread the word about how easily this can happen band how dangerous it is π
