So, I poisoned my finger. What do I do? Do I prick it and squeeze it all out or leave it? No prizes for guessing what Mitch would have me do eh sweetie?! Seriously though, I need guidance. And be warned I may post the pictures up depending on the consensus...

that septic pig's trotter isn't attached to you, is it?
niall! first, where did you get such a good camera? what kind do you have that the close-ups are so detailed and not blurry? second, gross! oooh! please! third, i'm suprised Mich has let you leave it this long without doing surgery on it herself (good thing you don't sleep in the same house b/c i know she's attack it with a scalpel while you slumber). fourth, i don't want to see pictures of how you handle it but if you could save it for the wedding i'd love to see it in real life.
Niall, my dearest, this is your mother-in-law (almost) speaking. The medical person in me says, 'hmm, this looks like cellulitis (not like the fat on my thighs), but really an infection in the tissue (if the camera is as good as Amber thinks it is)." Anyway, how about some antibiotics? How did you get this infection? Do you chew your nails and pull the cuticles off with your teeth? Imagine all the germs in your mouth.

Dearest mother-in-law-to-be, I do chew my nails and occasionally when it goes wrong the cuticles come away too. I've drained it and put it in hot water to draw out the rest of it and then wrapped it in a tight waterproof band aid. I got antibiotics last time this happened (at Christmas) but they didn't work so good. I'd be lying if I said that it hasn't happened a million times!
As for the camera Amber, that'd be from my darling fiancee. It's great for taking pictures of her!
Leave it for a month or so until it swells and festers, then pop it and see if you can capture the great green puss explosion with that camera of yours. I, for one, would be impressed.
BLEURGH mcneil!!! I am eating poached eggs and you've put me right off you hoacher.
Niall how is your broken trotter now? Did the hot water poultice cure it (do i remember doing that for you once upon a time?).
Hi Allyson! When Niall and Mitch are married you will be Esme's God-Granma-In-Law. I only just realised that fact and how much it rocks! :) We can't wait to see you again. xxx
