I am fucking terrified for my thumb

It still hurts.
There's a nodule of pain (probably infection) under there that hasn't gone away yet. I quit taking my antibiotics early, which I'm now thinking was stupid but OH MY GOD IM SCARED.
My friend Shelia had an infection in her foot that lasted 2 years and it wound up having to be cut off.
I am fucking TERRIFIED. I need my left thumb.
Should I just resume taking the Doxycycline? Cause with what my Botany major best friend and his pre-veterinary girlfriend said, what's left is now resistant to this shit.
I waited till I sobered up and I'm still worrying about that (hopefully?!?? see what I mean??) small chance that this infection takes off again.

Small is good.
The body can heal itself... but...
Finish the antibiotics. Resistant is not immune.
It is probably nothing, the less you worry, the faster it will heal (or at least seem to heal).

I already did that, but not over my thumb. The fucking DXM Goddess (didn't get her name, though she's likely subjective or replicative) herself basically gave me a nod but seemed to decide, when I was still set on telling TinyChat DTChat what was going on, that the trip itself or her underlings would be sufficient and though she was present a few more times, she didn't participate anymore but that's okay. If we have further business, we shall meet again.
I got humbled into 2D which was interesting, but most importantly of all, she made it very clear that I NEED TO TAKE CARE OF MY BODY. It's mine for as long as I need it and though I'd make a great brain in a vat, that I should care for and cultivate my body, including my brain.
I need to hug my parents every day I see them too, this was made clear. No matter what transpires, those who inhabit the dextroverse are right: this can do no harm and will definitely do good.
I also realized that some of those I considered enlightened are simply further along on the path than I... it's not that I'm missing something, or that some blotter paper or mushroom cap is going to change that. It's a process.
There was a lot more imparted, but a lot of it was recreational. The main point of the trip was that your goal is a point in your future and you're simply at point A on your way to point B, then C, etc. And points, mathematically, can be approached from infinitely many directions, giving me confidence that this odd path I've taken will still lead me where I was going the whole time .
Now THAT was a DXM trip. That's not even a third of it. 
Also thank you guys for the reassurance on my thumb. I project way too far ahead and tend to prepare for the worst, so this was really gnawing at me. I (think) I'm sure I'll be fine... kinda thing.
Man, I want my friends back.

Now we're playing back to my actual fear. I'll bet it's getting smaller every day (the painful area, that is!) because I'd have long since noticed if it were swelling back up.
Do fingers take forever to heal? Or it it just necessarily going to be a several-weeks process to heal since they had to cut it open?

On behalf of all humanity: you goddamn fucking moron. In all seriousness though, this is how multi-drug resistant bacteria are made. Your contribution to that process is probably insignificant, but still, quitting antibiotics early is a silly thing to do. Not just for yourself, but for everyone. Please keep that in mind next time you're prescribed antibiotics.

As a certified medical professional I say it's about 50/50 that you end up getting to keep your thumb.

You stopped taking your antibiotics early?
Don't you work in a laboratory or something?
A lot of your posts come off as "I'm extremely smart, but most of the DECISIONS I make are extremely stupid."
I'm on antibiotics right now, and I wouldn't even think of stopping the treatment early. The bottle even says right on the front to complete the entire treatment.

I mean worst comes to worst, you just have to chop off your finger OP. Not a big deal. You could put a hook on your finger and become a pirate.

I didn't come in this thread earlier because I thought it said "I am fucking terrified OF my thumb". I just thought, "Lol, st1llnox." 
But seriously, you should have finished the antibiotics. You're friend is right. People who stop antibiotics early contribute to all this resistant bacteria and shit.
