As if losing my dog wasn’t bad enuf, today I was bitten very badly by a couple of client dogs today. Two small terriers were fighting and when I tried to break it up, they both bit me. My left hand wasn’t punctured but the compression wound to my palm is going to bruise badly and hurts like hell. My right hand is a mess. There are six punctures on my thumb and index finger. Those fingers are swollen up like snausages. And on top of all that I had to get a tetanus shot, so my arm is going to ache for three days. I spent the afternoon at the doctors office, getting it all cleaned up and bandaged. Xrays were taken to make sure there weren’t any chips on my bones. I have to take an antibiotic for 7 days.

I was so upset and couldn’t stop crying after it happened, my husband came to get me. I couldn’t have driven even without the hysterics. I have a call in to the dog’s owner to talk about what happened, and I’ll check to make sure their shots are all up to date, but I’m pretty sure they are.

I have no idea how long it will be before I can knit again. Just this morning I was thinking, I never have anything to blog about besides feeling sad…What was I thinking!?! Here’s a couple pics of my poor lobster claw hands. See how I’ll never be able to knit like this?
