RABIES!!!

Sep 10, 2006 09:09

At about 10 last night I was in the living room surfing on the laptop. Nicholas and Gavin were asleep and Sophie was watching the end of the movie. The dog came in from the open door to the back patio and came over to me smelling of skunk. Great. So, I told her to go back outside and went to the kitchen to wash the smell off my hands and look for tomato juice in the pantry. I turned around and there, IN MY KITCHEN, was the dog FOLLOWED BY THE SKUNK!!! I did what any self-respecting person would do -- I screamed like a maniac and ran in the living room. Why? Who knows but that is not the point. The point is the m-f skunk chased me. So I continued to scream and the skunk continued to chase me around the house. I slipped and fell and the fucking skunk bit a chunk out of my flip-flop and cut my foot with his sharp little skunk teeth. Somehow Nicholas got the skunk outside and I proceeded to wait for my heartbeat to slow down. As crazy as it seems the skunk never sprayed inside the house. Thank god.

Then Nicholas and I started to freak out. Skunks are usually afraid of people and run away unless cornered. This skunk CHASED ME AROUND MY HOUSE!!! No kidding. So we called the police who believe Mr. skunky-man is rabid. Much to my dismay was sent off to the hospital emergency room. Then Nicholas and the cops track the skunk to the chicken coop where he is chowing down on one of our hens. The cop shoots the skunk and takes it away to be tested for rabies. Nicholas buries the dead chicken to prevent rabies from spreading to the rest of the girls.

At the ER I got 5 shots in the ass, a tetanus shot in the arm, two mega antibiotics and three shots right in my right pinkie toe. I have to have weekly shots in the ass for a month and I am on two antibiotics for a week.

So, what did you do on Saturday night?
