After my ordeal in Urgent Care yesterday evening, today became a day of rest. I slept in and have been taking it easy all day. My decision to brave a long wait and grumpy employees, probably upset they had to work on a Saturday, paid off today. When I woke up, my pain flare-up felt lessened and moving my right arm much less painful after just two doses of the antibiotics.

As Robert commented to me at dinner, "Your overly sensitive system sent an alert that you had the beginnings of an infection." We discussed how it was a good thing I went to Urgent Care and started treating this infection early, rather than waiting until Monday and risking it getting worse. He's still bummed he missed bowling though.

We're still debating wh
