I'm just VERY lucky she didn't get my eye. But she came damn close (about an 1/8 of an inch away). What made matters worse was the fact that I was bleeding like a stuffed pig. But head injuries (or facial in my case) always bleed more anyway, so I didn't panic. Years of working as a paramedic paid off. I ran to the bathroom and continuously splashed water on my face.
Donnaj,
I've been bitten by cats in the past as well. It is one of the most painful things to happen to you. I can't imagine having my lip torn up like you did. That must've really hurt. And I'm sure the insurance company had a good laugh at your expense.
The one thing I'm worried about is I have a "possible" temp job. I don't think this company is going to want me at their front desk answering phones and helping clients. Damn! How could I be SO stupid!! *stamps foot on ground*
Score:
Maya Linn = 1
Moosmom = 0

WOW :eek: , You ARE so lucky that Maya Lynn's sudden reaction did not get any closer!!!!! How is the eye doing today moosmom?
Ya, I'll bet they do tease you about "The Cat Fight"!!!! :D
Must have been one of those Mondays, huh!!!!
I have "imagined" your approach many times since reading your post, did Maya Lynn make that "cat noise"? That one always cracks me up!!!
All kidding aside, I hope you don't run into additional complications!!! and that you have learned a valuable lesson!!!!
yes, I'd wear that name tag for a few weeks!!!!! :p

I remember the insurance company called me when Logan bit me and I spent all those days in the hospital.
The guy wanted to clarify why I was in the hospital and I reply..."Um... my cat bit me."
He gets silent and then says, "Well that wasn't very nice! I hope he went without his tuna to teach him a lesson."
:rolleyes: :p :D

Sweetheart, you are a VERY lucky lady! I'm so relieved that you didn't injure your eye. The last thing I want is to know that you're hurt. If BB&B is anything like Longue Vue, you'll get plenty of razzing! I hope you start healing in time for your temp job. Here are plenty of {{{{HUGS}}}} from me and headbumps from my feline crew! BTW, you do not have an abusive boyfriend!

ouch!! Hope your eye and face is getting better?
-

I mean NO I am not laughing! puts some ice cream on Donnas face (lick off what melts whiner) ::leans over to Moo ya need to train Mommy better hun:: :rolleyes: Hands Donna the Ben and Jerrys to commiserate, better a cat scratch than egg on the face...........skips away singing lalallalalaaaaa ((((((((((((((((((((((((hugs)))))))))))))))))))))) )))))))

Donna, in regards to the temp job: Makeup can do wonders. Get a green based cover-up makeup -- yes GREEN. Not tan, but lime green. The green will cover the purple (a little color theory goes a long way!) then brush on the tan coverup and no powder - the powder will fall into the creases and make you look like a crazy lady.
BTW, glad to hear there's no pain today.
*snicker* "the cat did it" on your name tag :p
-
How about a name tag that says: "Let sleeping cats lie."
They'll get it!
I hope you feel better soon!
HUGS!

I managed to work my shift with no one commenting on my looks. When I first walked in I said, "The first person to snicker at my face or laugh, and I'm outta here." That's all it took. A couple of co-workers asked me what happened and I just said my cat took a running leap off my face. None of the customers asked me about it. They were probably afraid to ask for fear I'd tell them my boyfriend or husband beat the crap outta me.
My face hurts again, but nothing like last night. As far as pictures are concerned, I took one, unfortunately my card reader isn't installed in the new hard drive and the software is packed away in a box in MI. That's why I can't post any pictures.
After takning a closer look at my boo-boo, the BIG scratch is very close to my eye, and I think that's what hurts the most.
Kym,
I like the ice cream idea!! Unfortunately, I only like ice cream with caramel in it, which can be VERY messy.
I'll live. Thanks for your concern guys.

ahhhhhhhhhhhhh creme de leche coming up for Donna! you earned it, I wouldn't tease you so much if I didn't do the same kind of bone head things :rolleyes: I have of course by now mastered the innocent look! The one that says I was NOT doing something dumb the (insert critter of choice) had a momentary lapse of judgement! Sorry it is painful still, do have some Tylenol or Ibus that you can take to help?
