Just think . . . people can be getting live, second by second updates on just how bad your service is. . . and hundreds of people at once! (if not thousands!)</p> Right On.

One, twice, three times an owie. Toes generate infection, and I can't tell you why. Disinfect like you're Florence Nightengale.</p><br /><br /><p>2) Switch anti-nausea meds. I was given one that totally turned me into a drooling mess...and then a doc who is *really* on my Christmas card list said, "Why don't we change this out?" Result: Fabulous "Zofran" dissolved under the tongue, with no resultant drooling and loss of problem-solving skills. (Can also be given by IV/injection if it gets really bad). Doubles as a breath mint with its fresh flavor (and gritty texture- hey- it can't all be a winner...)</p> A few little helpful pointers- since I’ve gotten so much out of reading your blog over the last year (or maybe that’s “gotten out of so much”):

It looks like a little black/blue/purple sausage. He, however, didn't bring blood or go to the Doc. Yet. I think you're handling it much much better than him though. Men and their whining.</p> My fiance mashed his pinky toe into our ottoman in the LR. It looks like a little black/blue/purple sausage. He, however, didn’t bring blood or go to the Doc. Yet.

My mother buys the big pack of band aids, (2 if they're really cool) everytime she sees them on sale... cause she pretty much knows, I'll be running out again at any given time. I also had a matching set of knee, ankle and wrist braces (2 each, you never know with me)as long as you really got it clean... it should be ok... if you have decent health insurance, they should have a number you can call to ask for advice.</p> this injury definately deserves the blizzard reward… My mother buys the big pack of band aids, (2 if they’re really cool) everytime she sees them on sale… cause she pretty much knows, I’ll be running out again at any given time.
