Day 337

Yesterday I noticed that I had a tiny little dot/scab on my thumb. By the evening it started getting really itchy and burning. I thought the cat had nailed me with one of her claws yesterday, but this morning it was all swollen and achey, and it looks all red and yucky. Now I'm wondering if maybe a spider bit me or something. I had to take a pin and pop out some of the redder parts and a bunch of "juice" gushed out. Bleh. I put a poultice of bread and milk on it to draw out any infection and then put a bandaid over it. I've never done the poultice thing before so I hope it works. A trip to the hospital for cellulitis isn't on my agenda for the weekend.
