I just got bit by a dog

[okrattler]

I don't guess I follow. Dogs only bite people that aren't spoiled? I've seen dogs that'd bite Jesus Christ if he reached down to pet them. They can't smell rich or popular on people.

Not to worry. I have an appointment with my doc tomorrow for a tetanus booster and possible antibiotic.

Yes, I have a date with Big Pharma am looking forward to being penetrated!

Oh, he’s tried to bite me before, too. I did him just like I did that dog, I smacked him on the snout.

He just laughed.

I've used it before. Burned like the devil across the palm of my hand. Couldn't get it to stick well enough in my palm. I just wrapped it up and let it heal. Then stretched the skin back out when it was done. That was one of those "Shoulda's", aka should have gotten stitches. Another was when I split the crown of my scalp open helping "bro bill" on here build a feed pen. I didn't even know I had split it open till he said something about my white Nike sun visor turning red with blood. I thought I had bitten my tounge in two. But it was OK. After some ice packs to slow the bleeding, and with my long hair matted up in it at the time, and some rags under my hat, we finished the pen. I went home and shaved my head best I could. Then butterfly bandages back together. Next day at work, everybody was asking what happened. It took a while to quit seeping. But my welding hat soaked most of it up by the end of each day. Got a natural part in my hairline there now, when it gets long.

Another one of many, "I should'as". I've had over 144 stitches. Most from surgeries putting bones back together.

I was going to mention the t-post driver.

Hope it gets better quick. Hate bites as they usually leave some sort of infection!

Ouch! I think I’d rather be bitten by a dog. I think.

Update:

Just left the doctor’s office.

When I was first called to the back, the nurse came in to take my info. She asked me what happened, then kept saying, “Oh, my God!”, “You poor thing!” “Bless your heart!” “I am SO sorry!” and “Your nails look great, I love that color!” Then some other nurses came in and I got the same thing, “Oh, you poor thing!” or “I’m so sorry!” blah, blah. And, I’ll be honest with you, I really thought I was in for something bad and was the only one who didn’t know it!

Then the doctor came in, looked at me, and said, “Oh, it doesn’t look that bad. You’ll be fine.” No dramatic sympathy, no fussing over me.

And that’s why I love that man!

All told, I got an update on my tdap vaccine and some antibiotics, just to cover all my bases.

But for a minute there, I was beginning to think I was a goner.

Sorry to hear this Shawn. That looks like it hurts. I'd love to impart some witty wisecracks, but all the good ones have been taken and I'm no potlicker.
