I am going to try to upload the picture I wanted to show yesterday. I hope I have more luck today.

I went for my walk this morning in -15*C temperatures. It wasn't as bad as it sounds. The sun was shining and there was very little wind. I have an infection in my ring finger on my right hand. It has been infected for about three weeks - not really bad enough to go to the doctor or so I thought. I did show it to my pharmacist and she said I should go to the doctor: that I probably needed a mild antibiotic. This was on New Year's Eve. I decided not to go then because I was afraid that the only patients there would have colds and flu and I didn't want to catch anything.

This week, however, the infection isn't any better (but no worse, either) and two other fingers are also mildly infected. I wish I knew what is going on.

I had to take a lady to the medical building where my doctor's office is located this morning and I went in and made an appointment for Tuesday. Hopefully he will suggest an effective treatment.

Part of the reason I decided to go for treatment is that the very cold temperatures really make the fingers throb. Also I am having trouble gripping a pen. This is not so good for my resolve to write more letters!

The lady I took over for blood work was lovely. I have met such nice people  driving for Community Care. The only problem I have is when the ladies have walkers. This lady did and now my back, arms and neck are letting me know that they didn't appreciate the extra lifting. I feel it's a small price to pay for these seniors who have much more serious health problems than I do.
