Update

My hand is improving. It’s easier to type today, but the swelling needs to go down a bit before I can say it’s easy to type.

It’s just the knuckle that’s swollen. I think Prince must have bruised a muscle in his chomp. I’ve kept it bandaged and Betadine-d and the smaller scratches are almost invisible now. I’ve put an icepack in the freezer and once it’s done, I’ll sit down and put the back of my hand up against that for a while. I soaked my hand in Epsom Salts (not a good plan for the low-pain-threshold people) and it felt considerably better after that, believe it or not. I’ve also been taking a couple of aspirin every so often and keeping my hand as mobile as I can. The first helps with the pain and the second doesn’t permit my hand to stiffen into one position.

But enough of that…

Petra has a paper route now, 116 papers. With luck, she’ll be able to keep that going for a few years. It’s not the daily paper, but a once a week delivery. She has from noon Saturday until 5pm Sunday to get it delivered. I’m not sure how much she’ll be making, but she’ll have some money for ‘new clothes’ and such. It’ll keep her off my case about the newest fashions.
