Over the last two days, I have sustained two dog-related injuries. Last night, Joey was sitting on my lap, and as usual, Buddy was jealous. He was bothering both Joey and me. At one point, Joey snapped at Buddy, and somehow, my hand got in between them. She ended up biting my hand, biting hard enough to draw blood. It hurt like hell. I'm afraid it might get infected. I've washed it and dressed it and taken good care of it. But dog bites are touchy. I'm going to keep a close watch on them. When Buddy was a little puppy, his tooth caught my finger. It got infected. It was a lot of fun.
The second accident was today. I was bending down to put a leash on Joey, and at the same time, Buddy's head went up. It smacked me in the chin. I ended up biting my own lip pretty good. It's mostly on the inside and isn't terribly visible.
After this last injury, I wasn't much in the mood to do a lot of work outside. But after I nursed it a bit, and relaxed, I was able to get some of my work done. Not all of it, like the mowing, but a bit of it.I'll be so glad when I'll be able to just let the dogs outside to run.
Tonight, I'm not going to sit around and watch TV and end up eating. I'm going to bed early, even earlier than usual, and read. Hopefully, that will help give me the control I need.
Do they make lip Band-Aids?? I'm sorry you've had a boo-boo couple of days.
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping both your comments will show up. I published both of them, but for some reason, they aren't appearing....
ReplyDeleteIn response to your comment about hell week and that we must now be in purgatory, I personally think I go through hell MONTH every semester. But I'm certainly not above whining. :)
