Bear with me as I try to type this with an enormous "soft cast" on my left ring finger. Last night Goliath and Tululah got into a tussle, which happens from time to time. Goliath is, apparantly, a smart mouth little punk in dog talk and can throw a mean evil eye. Tululah will have none of it and moves in to correct the miscreant. Goliath, being an ADHD four year old Boston, will NOT take correction with any sort of grace. So, Mom goes in to break it up...oh wait, where the hell is Goliath's collar?
Killian had removed it that morning...for unknown reasons, so as I went to grab the collar that wasn't, Goliath mistook my hand for Tululah and bit the crap out of my finger. I think you'd be surprised by how badly that hurt. I mean, I'm not a wuss. I didn't even yell out during any of my 3 labors w/o pain relief...I yelled out in pain...I mean one of those deep down scary yells. I thought for sure my finger was broken, nevermind the raw hamburger that was now the inside of my finger.
Urgent care doctor was not gentle. A look at the clock told that he was 40 minutes from the weekend and seemed to be in quite a hurry. The digital block hurt like that a bad word involving mothers...again a first for me. I YELLED out loud in a medical facility. Didn't need a stitch since the tissue is all shredded. Xray said no fracture, but the numbness in my finger top indicates a crush injury. The hurried doc gave me a lovely penis finger (the wrap looks exactly like a circumcised penis, I swear), antibax and hydrocodone (sp?). So, I'm left to type without use of half my hand and ship packages with my big ole unit interfering at every turn. Fabulous!

Having been bit by a pit bull mix a few year back (which I'm sure you remember only to well) I cam testfy that dog bites hurt like nothing else and they hurt for DAYS. ouch. my most heartfelt sorries for you. I hope it heals fast for you. Last year a double broken nose this year a doggy bite. sheesh girl what am I going to do with you. big fat hugs.
Oh Mel! That's gotta hurt something fierce!! I'm sooo sorry hon!
I hope it heals quickly & that you can see a Dr who has a CLUE to check it properly. I think the Dr you saw must be a masochistic behind the scene. What a jerk!
(((HUGS)))
Like Jen said...been there done that and yeah baby that hurts like a 'bad word involving a mother'. Hope it heals up quickly for you!!
I had to giggle over your description over the beginning of the battle. I can totally picture the Boston stink eye :)
