Ow

So the middle finger on my right hand is swollen and it HURTS. It had been bothering me for a few days, but nothing MAJOR. But last night during league, I noticed EXACTLY how swollen it was. Bowling was all kinds of uncomfortable. Since I have my own balls, they're drilled specifically for my hand. My hand as it is normally. Last night, though, it kept falling off, even without my glove.

So I looked up what causes a swollen finger. And, for once, cancer wasn't the first thing listed on WebMd. So I either have a) an infection, b) a broken finger, c) carpal tunnel, or d) an autoimmune disease.


I'm hoping it's either "a" or "c." "B" means I have it really rough with bowling, video editing, typing and writing (something which especially isn't good leading into NaNoWriMo). "D" means I have something bright, shiny and depressing to share at the lupus support group on Saturday.

So I set up an appointment for this morning at 10 a.m. I wanted earlier so I could make sure I made it to class on time, but that was the earliest appointment they had...and I made my appointment at 5:03 a.m., three minutes after you're allowed to make appointments.

Will update after my visit to the PA.
