What a Revolting Development This Is!
With absolutely no awareness of what I've done to harm my thumb, I've developed an awful sore on my left thumb. It started as a tiny itch and from Friday afternoon it has grown to a dreadful sore about an inch long in the creases of my lower knuckle. This morning I went to the Emergency Room instead of to church. I won't go into gory details but I am now taking an antibiotic and I'm using warm soaks on it every few hours. If it isn't much better in the morning, I'll be going to the doctor who treated my knotted muscles.
Personally, from what I've heard about such things, I think I've had spider bite. I hear that some of them have venom that takes a while to get over. It has certainly changed my plans for today, and for tomorrow, too!

It sounds so painful too. I wouldn't be surprised if it did turn out to be a spider bite. Hopefully the soaks and antibiotics will do the trick and quickly.
