My father's hand is much better today (Christmas) and neither his
hand specialist nor the infectious disease doc know what has been
causing the acute inflammation in his r hand.
His skin never broke out into weeping sores and he never got a fever
which are indications in staph.
If he had drainage it could have been cultured but his skin never
opened and no pockets of pus developed.
I wonder if the apis he took last fri headed off the crisis, and
consequently changing his clinical picture?
I went to visit him today w/ rems, notes and books, prepared .. .
I mentioned to him that his girlfriend having chemo and his financial
losses must be difficult to deal with.
His response was that those things really didn't bother him but it
was "that he missed a shot" (declining ability) is what is really
upsetting him.
I decided to keep the homeopathy simple at this point esp since he
was better.
I gave him a single dose of ign 30C.
He told me that just after the ign he had a pain in each knuckle in
his right hand, starting w/the inner and working out to the pinky.
He described it as "ping, ping, ping, ping."
It appears that the energy flow in his hand had been stopped/blocked
(poss from the pounding injury earlier) and the rem released it.
About 15 minutes after taking the ign, he also confided that his
financial losses didn't bother him that much ("Its only paper.") but
that his friend suffering w/cancer was very difficult.
The cracking knuckles and his being honest about his current emotions
are wonderful signs of an energy shift!.
I also left him a bottle of calc phos 6X as a general tonic and
because he is slightly anemic.

I think Leilanae might be correct about the cumadin being involved
with the swelling as the purple tint indicated blood in the tissue.
I will ask his doc to review his meds in hope that he can lower the
cumin dose, eliminate it or replace it w/something less strong.
He will be sent home either tomorrow or sat depending if the
improvement continues.
He will need to continue the antibiotics for 2 weeks.
I will be at hosp again tomorrow.
If he hadn't been better I was going to give him one olfactory dose
of vip 200C and follow with 6 to 10 doses of apis 30C in water,
stirred in between (thank you Rochelle for that suggestion.)
I am very hopeful that he will continue to improve.
Thanks to the group for your help.
Sincerely,
Lynn

(provided the docs are certain and have tested for this ) it is one
to consider. Otherwise I would look at the snake Rx again. You can
differentiate on this to begin with from whether he is hot or cold
e.g. Lach = hot and Elaps = cold. The thing is that his problem
appears to be just in his hand. Apis could still do something. You
could try dissolving a couple in some water and getting him to stir
and take a sip every hour for abut 6-10 doses as Dr Ramakrishnan
would. Dr R likes 200C.
