I'm sitting here at my doc's clinic in Infusion Services waiting for them to start IV antibiotics. I've had a possible allergic reaction to the massive amoxycillin and my joints are all swollen and achy, plus I had bloody poo this morning.

I have to come back for the next three days. I had to take a taxi here and will have to take one home during rush hour (was in way too much pain to drive). This fucking cat is really expensive . My insurance won't pay for most of this. And here I was trying to start being more frugal so I could focus my money on travel. Fucking little cat bastard.

This place is quite nice and there's a tv and stuff. But it reminds me way too much of getting chemo with sis_r.

Yikes, this sounds awful. I hope this IV treatment will finally get the cat bite infection under control. Cats can be scary and hazardous pets! (I've always only kept non threatening rodents myself not predators...)

Hope you feel better soon. My mom had a cat bite go infected and they have to ramp it up on the types of antibiotics for quite awhile. They did take the trouble to give her pro-biotic doses to replace what gets killed off by the antibiotics in the gut etc., and we also dosed her up on cheeses and yoghurts, which I think also helped.

Oh, no, do you have 'cillin alergy, too? That sucks so much--happened to me when I was 12 and had the death flu. It's like adding insult to injury (or injury to injury, really) to have the stuff that's supposed to make you better make you worse. Lots of Benedryl?

Are you sure you need a box full of kittens? Just askin'.

At least you did the right thing by going for medical help immediately, even if it did go sideways. About 20 yrs ago my brother had a deep cat bite on his hand and ignored it until the tendon sheath in his hand became so septic he had to be hospitalized for several days. They had to open up his hand and scrape out the infection.

I'm sorry this turned into such a shit-storm for you. Bad Blue!

Please let me know if you need a ride anywhere? I'm not far from you during the day and I get off work at 4:30 if you need a pickup/dropoff, esp. during rush hour!

Wow, just wow! What an terrible mess. I'm so sorry you have to go through all this.

Check out the new health insurance products that will be offered on The Exchange beginning January 1, 2014. They will be cheaper but with better benefits. Open enrollment starts in October.

We went through our own pet trauma when Steve fell down a steep ravine trying to retrieve Daisy. He ended up with a broken ankle and spent 4 weeks flat on his back. Pets sure can be expensive.
