Yesterday morning I got up late feeling agitated, after not enough sleep. I had a huge list of things I wanted to accomplish, not enough hours in the day to do them, and a general sense of anxiety about it all. I had writing to do for my D&D group, writing to do for Fallen Leaves, writing to do on my gay romance so I can sell it and make some money. Also there were doctor's appointments to make, DMV issues to deal with, bank statements to reconcile... But I made myself take the morning routine one step at a time, begrudging every one of the necessary actions that were the prelude to getting to work on writing for the day. I snarled my way through brushing my teeth, resented my shower, ate breakfast with disdain. Then I finally sat down at the computer, all prepared to get to work, and the phone rang.
( It was JB calling to ask if she could ruin my plans for the day. )
And now it's a new day.
15:30 - JB texted me a few hours ago: She was at the hospital for her recheck. Her hand was still swollen but the wounds looked okay, so they were giving her some IV antibiotics and taking X-rays. I'll post an update when I know anything.
20:50 - JB is home. Her hand is not broken, but the infection continues to be a problem. At the hospital they called in a hand surgeon to debride the wounds, gave her additional and more serious painkillers, and packed the wounds with wet-to-dry dressings (look them up if you're not squeamish. I've had them, and they aren't as dreadful as they sound) and told her to come back on Monday for another recheck, as long as it doesn't get worse. She sounded drugged but okay. Her dad is flying up tomorrow morning to look after her, and she said she was fine for the night. I'm trusting her on this.
