How Did You Spend Your Friday Night?
Q: How did you spend your Friday night?
A: I went to outpatients, and luckily they weren't very busy, so I wasn't there too long.
Q: Why did you have to go to outpatients?
A: Because my Evil Bitch-Baby, Old Lady Cat, Nala, bit me. Had to get a tetanus shot and antibiotics for 10 days.
Q: Why'd she do that?
A: She's got something quiffy happening with her back. I was holding onto her neck as I was trying to comb some of the loose fur from her back, but I didn't have ahold of her well enough. She whipped around and bang-bang-bang, before I knew it she'd bitten me three or four times. She's fast for an old lady. She can't really groom her back any more without taking a spasm and flopping over like one of these guys. (video results here) I should have had better hold on her, she can't be brushed anywhere except for her head, ears, and chin. And she's a calico, they can tend to be cranky anyways.
Q: Will you be able to knit?
A: The hand is pretty darned sore right now, and the doctor says it will get worse over the next few days. Apparently cat bites are a very nasty bite to receive. It's my left hand, so it's the holding hand, not the throwing hand. We'll see....
This has been a crappy week. I had the flu early in the week, I didn't feel well the rest of the week til late yesterday afternoon. I still don't have much of an appetite (which isn't necessarily a bad thing!). I'm getting yet ANOTHER cold, and now I got bit and had to have a needle and pills and have a hurtin' hand.
Happy knitting to everyone else, though!

Cat bites do suck! Hopefully it's not too bad. Sending good juju your way!
It's starting to hurt really badly now, hot and throbbing. I've got an icepack on it, doc said to do that for a couple of days. It happened about four hours ago, and he said it would be worse over the next couple of days.
I told Nala she wouldn't be getting her bedtime treats, but of course I just gave them to her. She's still my baby, even though I'm mad at her. :)
OMG That's totally awful! What could you have done to p*** the health gods off so bad. I mean, give me a break. Stomach flu, cat bite and a cold!
Hope you feel way better soon!
Oh man ,this is definitely not your week . Hope you heal quickly and that the cold is shortlived . Take care , sending healing vibes your way !
Ouch! Hope you are feeling better soon! I know what you mean about giving the treats...you can't stay mad at them for long, can you?
Oh, my, I had no idea cat bites were so bad. I think I'll start being nicer to my cat. ;-)
Heal quickly!
