Is this an abscess or what?

Oh Chipper, I am so sorry I didn't see this sooner.
Best to let a doctor lance it. Doing it yourself can lead to more problems for many who try.
Sure there are some successful lancing done at home, but when done by a doctor, your chances of further infection are greatly reduced.

I am glad you are feeling better.

I am so very sorry about your dad. I never felt my age more than when I had to start facing the loss of my parents.
Please take good care of those feet. Still on the same course of antibiotics?

oh yes, i find myself constantly drawn to thinking about my own mortality.

dad is very fortunate, his family will be with him all the way and he is in a nice place and very comfortable. what more could one ask for ?

i have another 3 days of my 10 course of antibiotics to go.

thanks for thinking of us.

my feet will recover well and the decision to drop the needle is something that i'm welcoming, enough is enough.

@Catsfordrugs,  yeah you could definitely say he rolled on me for something that I got in trouble for. Got me 3 years in the feds. Not only him, but his mother did as well. It was a long time ago, he was a real piece of shit & in the long run 3 years in prison was probably much less trouble than 3 more years with him would've been.
