5 hours sleep, 2 loose bowel movements

This morning, I had a parent-teacher conference. I had a fairly loose bowel movement before breakfast. I ate breakfast before going to the conference (which is something that would have caused much distress a few weeks ago)  and had no discomfort or urgency there. After returning home (through heavy traffic) I had a bowel movement that was less loose than the first. The skin on my my left index finger is becoming increasingly stiff, hot, swollen  and uncomfortable.
