BC is back in the office. She's feeling much better -- they gave her a PICC line and daily IV antibiotics. In the week+ she was out of the hospital barely tolerating the oral antibiotics, the lung infection localised into a mass in one lung, but that began shrinking as soon as they started her on IV antibiotics. (the doc still biopsied it, but was pretty sure it was just an abcess, because antibiotics don't work on tumors.)
So I'm back to doing my job, which I'm falling behind on because of the time I'm spending doing a job I'm not really trained for. KB sat down with me last week and we did expense checks, so now I know how to do that. whee?
I trundled off last week to the hand specialist. I was not impressed. It very much seemed as though he'd decided what the issue was, and I didn't have anything useful to add. He poked at the thumb, had me do a few movements, manipulated it a bit, and said "wear the brace all the time. if it doesn't get better, come back and see me in a month". Yeah, no. There's a reason I'm only wearing it some of the time....
In music news, gaahh! Yesterday was LCCb rehearsal, and I was flailing badly. Then PS pointed out that it was effectively only my second rehearsal, as I'd missed last week and played bari for the first two weeks. Made me feel a bit better, but I'm still flailing. Two more rehearsals until the concert, and next week is a clinician, so really only one rehearsal. We shall see. I suspect that all I have to do is actually sit down and practice the frilly bits. (SR claimed that the theme song of the Michigan concert band/wind symphony scene is "It's A Small World", and the clinician is one of J's high school buddies. Whom I played with at Interlochen AllState in 1981.)
