incredibly pissed off

[icyaurora8]

so... i am not in a good mood.  i own 4 pet rats, and one of them is fairly sick.  after cleaning out it's cage earlier, i put some of its medicine on my finger to give to it, and it pretty much tore my left pointer finger clean open.  hardcore.  as in it's still bleeding an hour later.  and i don't have any extra money to go to the docs right now, and it is killing me when my finger decides for a few seconds that it doesn't want to feel numb anymore.  and this rat has NEVER bitten me before.  i might need a couple of stitches, and i'm sure i need to get on some antibiotics.  it's already bruising too.  and i work a job where i use my hands all the time... so not cool. 

i think the thing that worries me most is that i was using insecticide right b4 this happened (i washed my hands in between), but that stuff doesn't come off u'r skin easily... and now watch, it prolly got into the wound.

so much for my day being good.  this has pretty much ruined my mood, not to mention anything i do with my hands. 


also... this took me forever to type!

ooo that is a good idea. i've been bitten b4 by one of my old rats, but never this badly. i'm hoping it will start to heal up fairly quickly, cause i really don't want to pay to go to the docs, especially if there is nothing they can do.

thanks hun! i think i'm gonna have the fiance go by the pharmacy on his way home to see if he can pick up something.

No problem. If it looks bad in a couple of days speak to the pharmacist yourself.
