I Had A BAD day at work, got bit by a dog & ended up at the ER ***UPDATES**

[Catlady711]

Thank you for your well wishes.

Actually I've been very fortunate, that in 7 years working there this is only the second time I've been bitten. The other time was by a cat and only required antibiotics and a tetanus shot, no stitches that time. That was in either 2003 or 2004.

I can relate.

4 weeks ago, I was making breakfast and cut my ring finger with
a knife. The cut was deep in the shape of a smile and I got down to the
Tendon and cut some nerves. The worse part for me was the numbing shot
too. (I am such a woosh) I could not watch the Doc put the stitches in.

I was careless, and in your case their was nothing you could
do to prevent the dog bite.
Sorry you had to miss your mushroom hunting trip.
Sending many many good healing wishes for your finger to heal
perfectly.

OW!!! I can sympathise. *hugs*

OMG!!! I'm so sorry for your pain. I got bit by a pregnant stray. There's no feeling like it. I was on a very strong antibiotic rather than rabies shots. It was a provoked attack on my part.

Hope they gave you something more for pain.

Ouch! I am so very sorry you had the experience. Ya know, it would have been OK to go through life without first hand knowledge of this one!

I am terrible in hospitals too. I've had the acupressure and relaxation, and the calming shot. Usually I end up passing out.

Prayers that you heal quickly.
