Everyday Life

Intruder!

It's been a fair while since I posted one of these back yard emergency Blips!

Once again I was ill after having my breakfast, so I tried to book a GP appointment. I was too late and have to try again tomorrow at 8 AM. Today I was meant to be having my hair cut but I had to cancel it. I'll rebook when all this is sorted out.

The rest of the morning was spent reading, though I did manage to do laundry. There was more drama when I noticed that the place where Minstrel bit me looked and felt weird.  Googling scared me - especially with my infection history. (9 years since I was in hospital for nearly a fortnight!)

I had a walk down to Boots and showed it to the pharmacist who suggested I went to A&E for a tetanus injection. Minstrel's a house cat so I doubt it's likely, but to be on the safe side I called 911. 

To cut a long story short I have an appointment for the shot at the out of hours dept of A&E at 8.30 pm. Antibiotics were also mentioned but I hope they won't be necessary. They always upset my stomach and I'm having enough issues in that department currently.

I took this shot of Minstrel  as I forgot to take my phone when I went out earlier. One of the local Bengal cats had the brass neck to set foot in his yard that he isn't allowed to set foot in!

There's a moggy bite extra for the non-squeamish!
