issued from the Vatican or the local Diocese, I wonder.

Whatever - it's not our problem. How's your finger doing?

[Quix]

INDEED.

The thumb pad has been OK for 3-4 days or so without a bandage. Still quite sensitive but workable.

The nurse at church has been checking the wounds Sundays and Wed nights.

The middle finger has been without a bandage for a day or so. I keep bonking it—no thrill but it’s doing OK with a thick scab of dried blood and a bit of paper tape on top of that. More amzaingly, I’m mostly avoiding picking at it. Praise God for that!

Some folks at the college have gotten infected from very minor stuff and ended up in INTENSIVE CARE! WOW.

THANKS TONS FOR YOUR PRAYERS AND CARING.
