Work should be interesting tomorrow. I still can't walk right and my job requires me to be on my feet the whole time. I'll be limping around the whole time and by the time I get home, I'll just want to collapse.

I've been putting peroxide and neosporin on the wound I think is infected. Unfortunately, I have a feeling two others are getting that way too. However, it's not as swollen, warm or red as the one that is. I just have to keep a really close eye on it.

In order for me to wear pants, I'm going to have to wrap guaze around my leg. The scratches on my foot look bad, but they're acually no worse than the minor cuts and scratches I get on my arm. I can wear socks and shoes and the worse that happens is they itch. I'll be taking extra guaze and the neosporin with me tomorrow when I go in to work.

Oh, something I've failed to mention in the last two posts ... the puncture wounds ... could probably use a few stitches each. They're not big, but they're deep. Like, when you get a scab over a cut, you run your fingers or hand over it and you can feel the elevated scab. The punctures on my leg, the scabs are actually below the level of my leg. They're like miniature holes. But I've had cuts like that too. Where they probably could have used stitches, but I never bothered with it. Besides, I don't have the money. I'm okay with a small, scarred hole in my leg. I'd rather deal with that than be in debt from having to pay a doctor thousands of dollars to stick a 2in thread through my skin.

The only thing I have to be careful of is that I tend to subconsiously play with the scabs. Kind of like when I play with my tongue ring; I don't realize I'm doing it until someone says something. With the cuts, I don't realize I'm doing it until I start to bleed again. For now, I'm okay because I'm paying extra attention to them, but when I no longer have to pay close attention, I have to make sure I don't play around.

Alright, I'm done for today. I shall write again tomorrow. Probably about how sucky my day of limping went. {See, because it's not a work-related injury, they're not going to be sympathetic. It's shitty, but hey, that's life.}

have you tried butterfly bandages? They're for putting together the edges of lacerations, so that might help with the "holes" you have.

Yeesh
Who knew cats could be so lethal. What ended up happening to the cat anyways? Did you kick it or something? Perhaps hurl it away from you into the ground?

Maybe you should just put gauze around the scabs so you don't pick at them...because that's what causes scarring and other complications. Bad LS, bad!

It'd probably be a good idea to use disinfectants on all of the wounded areas...

Playing with the scabs is... not good... :S

I had to scrap the title
because it didn't actually fit. Next time...

Your work seems to really hate you. Or maybe the other way around.

I hope your wounds heal quickly then it wont get in the way when you're working and I know how much you need the job and it sucks to be on your feet when it hurts so much.

Re:comment
I actually just realised how dangerous my situation yesterday would be. Though, I wasn't to blame. My roommate told me that her classes ends at 2.30 yesterday and I assumed that she'll be there with me when the maintanence guy comes.

Lawl, I feel the same way. Perhaps one day, when I'm old and I can blame it on senility or some other such thing, I will go ahead and smack a kid in the face with my cane.

Re: your entry--

Swelling, redness, and localized fever is actually a normal thing around open wounds. It's your body's natural defense to raise the temperature in the area to create an inhospitable environment for bacterial colonization. As long as you're not draining out pus from the wounds, you're going to be safe. Keep on a lookout for weird fluids draining out or strange smells (I think "almond" is one of those smells to watch out for).

Out of curiosity, were those bite or scratch wounds? Deeper bites have a greater chance of being infected by normal feline oral bacterial flora and should be watched.

(I knew my fascination with my mother's medical books as a child would pay off someday! I used to read those things like no one's business.)
