Lol, it's all good. Mostly directed at the specific tendons.

Yeah I'm scheduled see a hand surgeon, but that's in 2 weeks. In the meantime I have to keep my hand bandaged and my thumb is in a splint. I never heard of rat bite fever until you mentioned it. I looked it up and I'm starting to worry. I have been feeling sick and now my whole hand hurts, not just my thumb. I took off the bandages to look at it and my thumb is still swoll. I know it's a severed tendon, but I don't know why that would affect the rest of my hand. Going back to the ER and tell them to check for rat bite fever later today.
