a series of unfortunate events…

…has led to my left hand being hugely swollen. I am just back from the doctor, who says it is likely a damaged vessel. I had smacked my hand hard against the door knob hauling stuff in and out of the studio last week. It seemed odd to both of us the delay from incident to reaction, but it is likely I slept on it wrong afterward and did further damage.

In addition, I seem to be reacting to it. A vessel running up my forearm is all irritated and swollen, too; the surface of my arm has a red line running up it, following the vessel. The doctor called this vasculitis, or some such. Shortly, I go pick up my steroids for the swelling and irritation, which means thrush, so I have to start that med as well…

From the look of the green-blue cast to my hand and forearm near the wrist, there is a good chunk of blood pooling. Deep down, too. It should be a real loo-loo by the time it surfaces.

You better bet that I’m gonna take photos…
