Work Bites...Literally

Earlier this week I was bitten by a dog while doing a home visit seeing clients. To say the wound was impressive is an understatement. Stitches would have been used; however since it was a dog bite, the risk of infection was too high. Therefore the wound was taped up and left to heal. When the doc said it would probably take at least 6 weeks to heal my first thought was, thank goodness this didn’t happen right before leaving for Hawaii! I know, vanity, vanity. This pic was taken a couple hours after I was bitten.




Day 2, looking foxy.


Day 3. It keeps getting bigger.



Despite the girzzly appearance I am okay and will eventually recover. Until then pants seem like a good option.

Horrible! I'm so glad you're a dog-loving soul.

Yes to Julie's comment, good thing you're a dog loving soul. I have so many questions...did the dog bite and hang on or immediately let go? Was it your clients dog or a stray? Was it put to sleep? Did they test you for rabies? I'm sort of traumatized by this event!
