Infected
Well, this work week started out nicely enough... Went to a kickass concert on Wednesday, kicked ass at work Thursday and Friday...
Then on Saturday at work, a semi feral cat bit me on the right hand while I was trying to move her from a cage to a carrier. Despite the fact that I washed, disinfected and bandaged the wounds immediately, by the end of the day, my hand was swollen and oozing pus. Upon seeing this, my boss sent me to the emergency room. Less than an hour later, I was getting a tetanus shot, IV antibiotics and a prescription for more antibiotics as well as a narcotic for the pain. I get the bacterial culture results tomorrow. All I can say is thank you workman's comp. I can't even make a fist at this point and I'm typing entirely with my left hand.
And before this happened, I had agreed to foster a kitten for Mon-Weds of this week, since his usual foster (a coworker of mine) will be out of town. A kitten that needs 3 different medications, one of which must be given every 2-3 hours during the day. At least he's good about it, and I have Michael to hold him still. n_n
I hope this cat bite means I'll become a were-cat soon... Yowling outside of windows at 3AM and pooping in flower pots at random.
