Too far behind

As you can see I'm way way behind on this blog. I thought I was going to be able to keep up pretty good with it and then boom, something happens that makes me more behind than ever. On the 13th of January, my cat Sassy had gotten caught in my electric bed underneath as I was lowering it. I hopped up out of the bed in fear of what I would find left of her. As the hubby was seeing what was going on and trying to get the bed up more, I had reached under the bed with my arm to see if she was ok. As I was doing that I fell backwards and Sassy had my wrist in her mouth, and it just ripped my wrist in many places. I was more worried about her being hurt than I was with myself. When she finally was able to get out and get her teeth out of my skin, I pulled my arm back and wa la, there was a ton of blood! I at first thought it was her, but hubby said omg look at your arm, you're bleeding bad. So I told him to check her first and see if she was ok, because Lord knows we can't afford a vet bill, well she was just fine, just shook up was all. Then it was time to tend to my injuries. Got it all cleaned up and found that I would have to make a trip to the ER or to my doctor if I could get in then. I ended up at my doctor's office, and he was shocked at how deep the injuries were, and said that it would need some stitches but in the area that it was torn in he couldn't stitch because it was right in the crease where the wrist bends at and he said that it would just bust back open. So they had to put some butterfly stitches (6) on the one tear to close it, and 3 butterflies on the other one. The big thing was infection and to keep it dry and clean. I didn't know that cats carry a lot of bacteria in their mouths, but I sure do now. Lucky for me Sassy has had all her shots and is only an indoor kitty so no worries there. Trying to do anything with a swollen hand and wrist was impossible, not to mention how very painful it was, so for most of the time I just was a couch potato and watched TV. Now I'm way behind on everything I needed to get done, and it's so hard to catch up. Here's a picture of my bites, please be aware that they are really graphic, so if you have a weak tummy don't read from here down lol.

This is the ointment that I had to keep on them, it worked really good at getting it healed.

And here's my Sassy


Thanks for stopping by today :)
