Bon bit me (not feeling so blue any more!)

[gini]

Anna, sounds as though you really do need a break here. Goodness sakes, I would think it would HURT!! I know I would be in tears if it was me.

I hope the Dr. can ease the pain for you - and I wonder if maybe you shouldn't be standing so much?

[shais_mom]

lots of love and prayers for you Girlfriend!

[Ginger's Mom]

Sure hope the doctor was able to give you something that would help control the pain better, and I hope that he/she was able to convince to you Take It Easy for a while. I really hope you are feeling better soon.

OK, OK, OK...so I'm going to be taking it easy for a while per the Dr.
Geesh, you guys don't let up till you get your way do you

Needless to say I was able to get in this morning and everyone couldn't believe the way my leg looked. Luckily he said it didn't seem to be infected (I didn't think it was) and of course there's really not a lot they can do to help me.

What they did do was to loosely wrap the whole upper part of my leg with an Ace bandage and told me to put heat on it now instead of ice. I guess that's supposed to help the blood in the hematoma move up through my body. I didn't know that the blood gels like jelly...no wonder it's still a big knot.

I already take Relafen so they bumped the amount from 1/day to 2 since it's a blood thinner. And of course they told me to rest my leg I just thought that the more I moved it the better it would feel, guess not!

The Dr said they wouldn't give anything stronger than the vicodin, just told me to take 2 instead of 1 and to take them every 4-6 hours.
I also got a note for work to be off until July 9th unless I start to feel better.

Well that's my update for the day. Thanks for letting me ramble. Your going to be hearing much more of my rambling now that I won't be working

So, when are you girls coming to see me

A couple of pictures attached for anyone who cares to see.

Feel Better SOON!!

[Husky_mom]

gladly our PT prayers work on you to take some rest

sending husky healing vibes along with hugs and woos

[finn's mom]

My gosh, that is terrible looking! The human body is fascinating, to say the least. Wow! I'm glad you're going to be resting up some. You need it, poor leg!

[lv4dogs]

You poor girl, I wish there was something I could do. I am glad to hear that the docs don't think it's too serious of a problem & that they gave you a script to rest, that leg needs it. You're in my thoughts sweetie.

[gini]

Being absolutely an authority on nothing.........I was just worried that your being on the leg so much might do more harm than good.

Dr. knows best - ha - and we got our way didn't we?

I'd drop in if I was closer - but I betcha you will have some "girlfriends" over soon.

Hugs to you Anna and I sure hope you feel better each day.

[RobiLee]

So, when are you girls coming to see me

I can come Saturday!! Do you need me to bring anything?

[pitc9]

Sorry to be crying on your shoulder

Oh Anna... please... that's what we're here for!!

Glad you're taking the Dr.s advice and taking it easy!!

Healing {{{hugs}}} being sent your way!

[lizbud]

Thanks for the update Anna. I'm glad you now have the "official" word
to give yourself more time & not rush things.Your leg actually looks a little
better in that first picture. Take it easy now ,while you can, & just enjoy
visiting PT a little more often.

[PETLUVR67]

Even though I'm new to the posts - I just wanted to take the time to say I hope that you heal quickly and don't feel bad about getting in the middle of the fight, because I have done the same thing and ended up getting bitten (but not by my dog - by a neighbor's dog who was attacking my dog.) We love our pets like children, so just as we wouldn't let two children fight each other without intervening - we also can't just sit back and watch our pets hurt each other. I do think that seperating Bon during mealtime is a good idea however, that way you won't have to worry about him displaying aggression sometime in the future.

[Pam]

Anna I am glad that you will probably be spending more time at PT but very sorry that it had to come about this way. I am glad you are getting some time to rest up. It doesn't look like standing on that leg could be a good thing but of course I am not a doctor (nor do I play one on TV....LOL!)

[joycenalex]

i'm glad to hear you're off work longer, you can and will take more meds and you are gonna see friends on saturday. and anna, honey, it really is okay to sit in your yard, with a book, a big glass of iced tea and enjoy 2-3 hours just sitting and enjoying yourself and your dogs. trust me, and try it. hugs joyce
