Attack!

I had just turned out the light last night when there came a weird screaming sound. I got up to investigate and there was Onyx with something white in her teeth. Something white and screaming I might add. Turned out that the wife's hamster escaped and Onyx caught it. I finally got it out of her teeth and picked it up. Where it started biting me. Two bad bites on my left hand, the ring and index finger and two bad bites on my right hand, the middle and index finger. The left index and right middle ones are the worst. In fact, the right middle he punctured my finger nail. Well, its been eight years since my last tetanus shot, and after consulting my insurance's nurse line, she decided I probably needed one. Don't you know, I had left my purse at my brother's last night so I had to drive up to Georgetown - about 20 miles - to get it and then come back and go to the minor emergency center, because my doctor couldn't get me in until Monday. Well, if I'm going to go to the doctor for these bites, I might as well get my lip and other finger checked. He says that my lip looks like it might have some infection and because of the nature of the other bites, he also put me on an antibiotic. I told him it would have to be liquid because of the corn starch. So, I'm now up on my tetanus shot and I have a pretty nasty tasting med to take for the next 5 days.
