My hand

is getting so swollen!!  It hurt like crazy this morning, and after spending 2 hours at the Social Security office (on the way to official name change! yay!) I went to the minute clinic at CVS, where I found out that they don't accept my insurance (damn you duke for being picky) and had to go to urgent care, and they told me that my hand is definitely infected, put me on antibiotics, and told me to watch for spreading.  If it spreads they need to drain it.  Ugh.  Please send some nestie vibes this way.  Pretty please.

 Luckily though, the doctor told me that he told the people not to call animal control.  Thank god.  I don't know what I'd do if animal control came knocking and took my cat and euthanized her because she bit me because she was scared.  It was my fault anyway.  I put the leash on her and took her out even though she didn't like it, and I didn't bring her in as soon as we saw the dog. :(

 If it doesn't get better by Wednesday I have to go to the ER or my primary doctor for them to send me to an orthopedist.  Blach.

Re: My hand

  • Lots of nestie vibes to you. That so sucks! Hugs! Keep your chin up and keep us updated!
  • I just responded to your original post, I didn't see this update until afterwards.  I have been bitten several times by cats (I work with animals).  Since you got on antibiotics you should be OK.  Just keep the wound clean and take all the medication.  The first time I got bit my finger swelled up so big I couldn't bend it for a week, and I had started antibiotics immediately.  In my state, if you get bitten your animal won't be euthanized.  If the bite is reported you will have to take your pet into a vet for an exam in about one week to be sure it doesn't have rabies.  Then you mail the signed form into the health department and all is well.  I hope this helps put your mind at rest!
  • I am so sorry and I hope you have a quick recovery!

  • Nestie vibes to you!!! The same thing happened to my mother- she got scratched really bad by a cat and it got really infected. Like pp said, make sure you keep it clean and keep taking your antibiotics and you should hopefully be good!!!

  • hopefully things get better.  my husbands aunt got bitten by one of her cats and she had to have surgery afterwards because it got really infected.  hopefully your injury is not anywhere as bad.  good luck!
