Ok, so mom has a tendancy to pick at rough skin. She does this sometimes until she opens the skin and bleeds. There is a never ending battle between her and Julie, with Julie telling her to "Stop Picking!", and mom eventually going back to it (often without realizing).
Now, one of her knees is displaying signs of infection - it's swollen, a little painful, and warm to the touch. We think it is likely got an infection from being picked at.
Whatever the cause, with her blood-counts low and her immune system consequently weak, we are concerned. She's going to the local doctor (P.A.) today to have it checked out.

Ok, she's on antibiotics now. Next Dr visit is Tuesday.
