that's the thumb


So back to the doctor yesterday...we headed to the poly-clinic about 8:30am and after waiting for a bit went to see the lovely nurse pratitioner who checked Alison's chart and decided it was time to open things up, and get the evil out. I know. He numbed up Alison's thumb, she tried to tell him stories the whole time without looking, and he kindly showed me everything, so I could tell her later. I'm so nice. It was gross. But hopefully it'll be better soon. Really, it wasn't that bad, a couple cuts here and there, he drained stuff, relieved some pressure, and wrapped it up nice. It immediately looked better. It took longer to prep everything, and wait for the shot to work. He sent some stuff to a lab so we can find out what happened, we call on Friday...and we got this all for the low, low price of $65. I'll pause for you. $65. I would go to the doctor ALL the time - only $65, seriously? Amazing. We got more medicine, and pain killers, not so heavy this time, and we're keeping an eye on it. On other fronts, we are planning on getting the train on Sunday to Brisbane, we'll arrive early Monday morning, where Uncle Ian will pick us up.
