PLEASE PRAY FOR ME: Cat Bite & Rabies Shots!

[kimlovescats]

Thank you for the prayers and warm thoughts. I do appreciate them all! Yes, I did start the shots. I had 4 on Monday and will have another tomorrow (day 3) and then on days 7, 14 and 28. So far the only side effects are gas, cramping and slight diarrhea from having to take 2 strong antibiotics at the same time. As far as my hand goes, it is getting much better each day ... today it is much less painful! It looks like I got treatment quickly enough to keep the infection from spreading any further! The red line that was starting into my wrist is now gone!

THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRAYERS! Just continue to pray that the other shots go as well as the first with no side effects!

Here is a picture of my hand. It's hard to tell in it, but the infection was spreading down to the pen marks done by the ER nurse. I think you can tell how swollen and red my hand was though.

OUCH !!!!! That looks like a very painful hand to me . I am glad you went to the doctor and that you got all necessary medication!! A cat-bite isn't something to ignore...
I am so sorry that this happened to you, PT's best and sweetest rescue-mommy!! I hope that all pain and swelling will be over soon!
Hugs

Oh Kim. Just what you didn't need. I've been on the receiving end of a cat bite (from Logan) and they are NOT fun. Mine got infected pretty badly but I'm so glad Logan was up to date on his rabies.

I'm so sorry you had to go through the series of shots.

*HUGS*

Feel better soon.

(Oh and Donna, I do remember that. That was a very not nice kitty. )

Very well said K9soul.

WOW Kim, he did quite a job on you. I'm so happy to hear that the pain isn't as bad and that it's getting better.

More prayers on the way that the other shots go as well as the first 4.

From a RN, Kim I send you lots of prayers and hugs!!! The photo of your hand makes me so sad. In your kindness, you got hurt. I hope that you will be able endure the shots, and all the Clan wants you to know their paws are folded in prayers for you!!!!

Hi Kim, How are you doing today? I hope you are okay. You are still in my thoughts and prayers.

[kimlovescats]

Thank you all so much for the kind words of support! They truly mean very much to me! I am heading out for my next rabies shot here in a few minutes. Wish me luck!

[Laura's Babies]

Wow Kim! That looks awful and terriably painful! Why do cat bites have to be so painful? It is bad that they hurt and can get so infected so fast but have to get the shots TOO? Insult to injury!

Being Miss Side Effect Queen here, I worry about side effects on anything I have to take. My side effect of choice these days is nausea.. NOT good when you cook for a living! Hope your side effects (if any) are mild and this be nothing but a bad memory soon for you.

[rg_girlca]

Just popping in to let you know that I've been thinking about you today and praying that today is an even better day for you than yesterday.

Hope your shot went well for you.
