Hi everybody!

My finger looks pretty nasty. I left work early yesterday because I kept banging the damn thing. I waited an hour and a half at this totally incompetent walk-in clinic and finally left. I ended up going to Wyandotte Urgent Care Center. I was in an out in an hour. The doctor told me that animal bites are nothing to take lightly. They can do more damage in less than 48 hours if not taken care of properly. I knew I should've poured Jack Daniels on it!!

They put me on antibiotics (Augmentin at $84!!) and marked my arm telling me if the redness goes past it to get my butt back to the ER. I got up this morning and the redness is subsiding. The doctor wants me to have the series of rabies vaccines but I don't know. I'm a baby but it might not be such a bad idea, especially after what Kim said about the cat roaming and questioning whether her shots are up to date. I'll let you know more when I talk to the doctor. Like I said, don't worry, I'll live.

Shais_mom,

I talked to Kim last night and I would LOVE to go to the meeting. I can even drive if there are others who would like to go. We can do a caravan. I'm excited about meeting everyone! This is going to be SO cool!!

Eli is doing well and has an apetite like a horse. I was supposed to bring him to the vet this morning at 10:30 but have to put it off. He's a little lovebug once you pick him up but he's still scared and hides under the bed. He's VERY vocal when he's hungry though.
