Andy Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 So Echo and Darwin decide to "get it on" over something completely trivial. Kelly grabs Echo and I grab Darwin and we haul them apart. Darwin is so insistent that he wants a piece of Echo that he twists and in the heat of the moment . . . Sinks his teeth into my forearm. erm. . . . "OUCH" !!! Only two punctures and didn't bleed much. However since it had been 8 years since my last tetanus, I decided to get it checked out. it was a "quiet" Sat afternoon so it only took me 3 hours to get seen, sutured, re-tetanussed, and antibioticised. Echo has a cut on her head and ear. . . but not bothered by either coz 2 mins after the fraccas Echo and Darwin are playing nicely in the ex's back garden. Jeez. . . .that'll teach me to get a grip , and get him pinned to the ground instead of trying to hold him away from Echo. with enough room to snap at me. Next time I'll know better. . .lol. . . "Ouch" PS. . . SAZ. . .LOL got your joke on my phone as I'm in the cubicle being "steristripped" Thanks made me laff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Posted July 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 ouch andy - hope it heals well - least u got urs checked out lol If I'd had a tetanus in the last couple of years I'd probably just covered them in plasters and let them heal. But I figured 8 years was too close to the 10 year limit. . .so best safe than sorry. Septicemia, isn't one of my favourite infections. . . lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted July 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 Looks painful Andy........hope it heals quickly Looks worse than it is, it's more "Achey" than painful.

ISDW Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 You did the right thing going to get it looked at though, these things can turn nasty very easily. You said sutured, did they actually sew it? Cos I was told they don't like to sew dog bites, as its not a straight edge, unlike a knife wound and the bacteria can't then escape if its sewn. Now take it easy, and if you can manage the mouse, I'm sure the beer cans would be manageable as well:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rosemary Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 Good grief Andy - Ouch!!! I got in between my two on Friday (I obviously wasn't thinking straight) who were fighting over a huge bone, and in the heat of the moment Ozzy sunk his teeth into my elbow - he realised immediately that it wasn't Micah's neck he had in his mouth and let go - poor guy was so shocked he just sat and stared at me - anyway, he didn't draw blood, and I only have a huge bruise, but can just imagine how yours must have felt. Hope it heals quickly and cleanly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnaB Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 Glad you're okay Andy! Looks really sore! *husky hugs* A&E these days is awful for waiting times...I remember when I had an insect bite on my ankle that got infected and swelled up to the size of a tennis ball (you could see the redness travelling up my leg too) and I had to wait about 3-4 hours in A&E. My mum rang the GP we had at the time but they refused to see me as they didn't see it as an emergency! er....i could hardly walk on it and was hopping on my good leg just to get around...
