PLEASE PRAY FOR ME: Cat Bite & Rabies Shots!

[caseysmom]

I think Kim has started the shots...how are you doing today Kim? I am still worried about you.

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.
