my fucked up hand

topic posted Tue, August 24, 2004 - 5:53 AM by  Demi
typing is going to be minimal today. let me labour over this to tell you why.

i am pretty hungover today. i drank a bottle of wine in about a half an hour last night and got very ill. it was just a stupid idea and i don't know why i did it. i was doing packing and i just started drinking the wine like it was diet coke. i'm retarded but that's besides the point. so this morning my head is pretty tender. i opened the window in the bathroom because it started to rain and max comes in chripping cos he loves to sniff the air from the window. so i hold him up in my arms so he can sniff - i do this alot and it's cute. i reached over max to get my toothbrush and knocked over a container of lotion that fell in the bathtub. but that scared the shit out of max because the window was open and he was being frady outside cat.

instead of me dropping him like you always should when a cat spazes out i held on to him which caused me more damage. max totally ripped a huge scratch that runs from the middle of my left palm up the inside of my arm - and he also ripped througn my tshirt and i have puncture marks and scratches on my stomach. my hand hurts like a bitch everytime i move it the slightest.

he's never freaked out like that! anyway i'm mad at him and we aren't speaking.

    =O OH NO! Scaredy cats are always hurting people. Something has to be done about them. I'm thinking... prozac maybe!

    Wow, that sounds painful!

      OMG Demi.....hey, you may want to go to the vet, i mean people dr. & have that checked. i was attacked by a cat a few years ago & it was badly infected....they're claws are FULL of bacteria. i tried the neosporin first, but when the bites & scratches got all puffy & pussy i went to the ER.....

      DONT BE LIKE ME! see the dr, just in case...

        i'll be vigilant kira thanks for the heads up, i am really bad and keep a couple of antibiotics whenever i am sick because i've found that the antibiotic powder mixed with a wee bit o water into a paste turns into a great overnight zit zapper... i have a couple of pills from when i had a throat infection in june - so i am going to put some on the bad cut on my palm and one of the punctures on my tum. it doesn't help i feel like shit today anyway! heee!

        i don't have a doctor in england where i am living now - but i'll watch it just in case...

        i gave up and started speaking to max again. he told me he didn't mean it and to show how much he loves me he rolled around on the floor - what a crap apology.

            Demi,
            YOUCH!!!!! Hope you are feeling better soon! I also think you should see a doc. Cat bites can be serious and I really think it's worth looking into. Best case scenario -- they give you some antibiotics and something for pain. Arm clears up. You're fine. Worst case -- infection turns into MONSTER HAND and then it's all serious. I'm nagging you... Go!

            xoxo.

              cat!!! ok i promise to go when i come back home! i kinda can't go in england because i don't have a doctor here and i have no more money at all to spend after everything this trip back home is costing me... i would totally go to the doctor too i'm such a hypochondriac i love it when i get sick because it makes me feel validated ha ha. i'm always nagging other people to go to the doctor - so i understand your concern babe. i just took off the bandage on my hand and it's not swollen anymore but there is a pretty gnarly scratch there. i'll keep an eye on it...


              no monster hand! fuuuuck!

    Aww baby, sorry about the hangover and the crazy scratches. You can just tell people you tried to slit your wrists with a bamboo skewer, right? Har har. Anyway, the wee bastards spazzed out on me like that when they were kittens, huge scratches on my wrist that bled. The weird thing is, they acted really ashamed afterwards, they nuzzled my arms and legs afterwards and were super-cuddly. Maybe they were just sucking up 'cause they could tell I was pissed-off and hurt and I'm the Provider Of Food and Scooper of Poop, but I like to think that they know they hurt me and they were sorry. Nowadays when my cats spaz (happens every time the doorbell rings, it terrifies them for some reason) I literally toss them off me and the added trajectory allows them to land on their feet and gives them an excuse to give me a super-evil look.

    Anyway, poor baby. Keep those scratches very clean and dry, if you have any hydrogen peroxide handy that shit is magic with keeping cuts uninfefcted.

      What a bummer! My hubby and I both sport a few old cat-scratch scars. Tipper used to spazz out and scratch when he got startled. I agree with That Woman; hydorgen peroxide works great, as does the tea tree oil.

        hey my main pic is one i took of max today when he was waking up from his slumber in a box of mismatched clothes that's normally a really cute sight but with the sinister dealings of the day - i caught max as he really is. an insane pyscho slasher with a blood lust matched by no other feline.

          Are you sure the doc's not free for you Demi, if you've been paying national insurance and suchlike while working it should be i think?

                Clyde did this to me one time. He had this toy that hung from the door on elastic, and at night he would pull it taut and let it FWAP! against the door, over and over. So I tucked it behind the door so I could get some sleep. Minutes later I hear fierce yowling and open the door to find clyde tangled in the elastic and doing a bit of a bungee jump. I of course, tried to grab the flailing cat ( DUH )I looked like a total dork the next day...

                    he developed another one that's tiny on the top part of his nostril, it just appeared about a month ago. i thought it was where snowy had scratched him but it's like a mole or pigmentation mark... keerazy little shit!

                      I'm sorry to hear about your hand, Demi. You do have free healthcare thanks to the great NHS (and I mean that), so I'd get it checked out at least before you return home.

                      I did the same thing once with Lupin. My evil idiot ex let a german shepherd into our old apt. and she freaked out. I tried holding her, like you did with Max, until blood dripped into my eye after she ripped into my forehead (fortunately no scar!). Then she literally climbed the walls and ended up doing a flip once she hit the ceiling. Very scary. Of course, it transpired that the huge drooler (to use WS's phrase) had tried killing cats in the past....
