So some good news, and not so great news.
The swelling is down, and my fingers and hands are about 75% back to normal feeling. I actually picked up a cup with my left hand today. Yeah!
The puncture wounds are mostly closing and it's looking better.
The not so better news is that I think I have a deep rooted infection. My BGs are running crazy, I'm running a fever, and I am dragging. On top of that my arm is a very unhealthy color.
Heading to primary care Dr. today to see about changing to a different antibiotic, and seeing what else we can/should do.
If I can get the infection under control, I should be able to ride given how my hand and fingers are feeling today.
Luckily no races on the schedule for a bit, so I have a little cushion.
Thanks so much for all the positive vibes and the messages. I truly appreciate them!!!! :)
