Well, On Easter, I tried to vaccum under the bed and guess who got in the way... Ewok.  Ewok's tail - just the furry end got in and I tried to stop the vaccum and she grabbed my right hand - sticking her thumb nail between my index finger and middle finger and one of her other nails into the top of my hand.  Well, I've never had problems before with cat scatches, but it got horribly infected.   I went to the emergency and they got me all set up with a new tetanus shot and a antibiotic  Doxycycline 10mg  - 20 tab's for ten days.  and pain pills that make me get sick.    I can barely do things and I mean the real personal "things"... dang.  I can't even draw and barely type this...taking forever....     Otherwise Ewok didn't have any injury what-so-ever but is now definitly scared of vaccums.

I hope everyone had a better Easter than I did.  

Love you all  .... I did some favorites !!





UPDATE ON MY WOUND

My injury from my cat Ewok turned into a absess and I am now on Clindamycin HCL 150 mg caps.  The doctor I got this time was a wonderful Chinese gal doctor and she was disappointed that the first ER doctor didn't do more for me.  She had to numb up my hand with this really long needle (hit me about 6 or 8 times) and then cut into my hand.  There was some dead tissue and infection which she took her time in cleaning out...she was very gentle & thorough.  She had a intern helping her and when she was all done and left.  The intern told me she was the BEST !  So I got some super medical attention and I'm on the heal.  My hand is all wrapped up, I can move my fingers decently.  I hardly have much pain (which I also got pain pills for - but haven't had to use yet)... So I'm good.  I was warned about MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a type (strain) of staph bacteria that does not respond to some antibiotics that are commonly used to treat staph infections).    So I'm being good about keeping it clean and covered., Which I was in the beginning but was inform the first medication really wasn't strong enough to fight the infection in the first place.  But now, I got the right med's and I'm making sure I do the right things - I don't want to lose my hand !!!
