back from the hopsital! posted : 03/21/07 at 08:14pm pst listening to:modest mouse
so i had to rush to the emergency room on Friday night cuz my hand swelled up like 3 times its size! i cut it a week prior and all of the sudden it got gross over night. It got a bad infection so i had to be sent to a hand specialist and go in for emergency surgery. The doctor told me if i watied one more day i could have lost my hand! I would be the only Gods Girl with one hand...They cut my hand open and put tubes in it to drain. Man, i have been hooked up to I.V.'s and been doing hand therapy since Saturday morning. They were gonna keep me till Sat but let me out early. Im so glad to be home but i still cant use my hand to well. Hard to imagine a little cut could cause that many problems. The hospital food was horrible but i got a complimentary movie channel. i watched so many shitty movies! i even watched Material Girls with Hillary and Haley Duff (is that her sis's name?) Yeah, so on that note shower time.... make sure you keep your hands clean!

love, Gina

I had the same thing happen to me, minus the intense swelling, but the infection went up my arm. Did you have to get a tetnus shot?

Definetley keep your hands clean.
