Pain

[serious pity post]

Yes, pain. As in, actual pain. Not the pretty French Pain - not at all. This is going to be an enormously whiney post. But mercifully short, I assure you. Because of the pain. In my right index finger. Most inconvenient.

See, this is what happened. Ywette had to go to the vet this morning, for some bloodworks. I chatted happily with the assistant, yes, Ywette was a delight and no, of course she didn't need a sedative and no, absolutely not, why would I need protective gloves?


See what a cute little bundle of fur she is?

Long story short, I ended up with two holes in my finger, numerous bleeding scratches, and Ywette got a sedative. Let me just tell you how much it hurts. Aiiiowwwweeeeyaaaahh! About that much. And I feel like such a wuss. Just a little bite? Why does it huuuuuurt so much?

I spent the rest of the day getting a tetanus shot and seeing a doc for antibiotics. I'm planning to spend the evening on the couch, with a pint of my second favorite Häagen-Dazs. (Strawberries & Cream - plain Strawberry is my favorite but it's not sold in Sweden any more.)

OUCH. Cat bites can be very nasty so I'm glad that you got it taken care of right away. They seem so fuzzy and cute but they have pointy teeth!

I got bit by a kitten I was trying to rescue and my hand blew up like a balloon. I stopped by my vet, who informed me that a cat bite can land you in the hospital on drip antibiotics for days, so I went to the emergency room and besides a tetnas shot and antibiotics, had to have a series of rabies shots! So be happy that you knew the cat!
