Ok, I need to ask for your prayers for my hand, if you don't mind praying for someone with no brains. My cat Polly bit me, because she was fighting with Lucy, & was cornered in the sewing room, and I tried to pull her out. Wrong move. She nailed my right hand, right on the joint where I had the basal bone removed due to arthritis & it constantly aches anyway. I think I'd rather be shot. So I was at the doctor's today, and had to get a tetanus shot, which will make my arm sore for a week. And I have to take amoxicillin for 10 days, because that's the best for cat bites, and it makes me sick as a dog. I've no choice, I've already got a small fever. The hand is swollen, my RIGHT hand, of course, and I can't grasp anything, open cans, run the sweeper, or sew. It's hard to type, too, but not as hard as bringing those fingers together. It happened about 1AM, so I iced it & tried to sleep, that didn't go well, either. I can't believe I did something that stupid, I've had cats all my life, I KNOW better. Well, maybe not at 1AM. Please pray that it's not as miserable as I think it's going to be from experience. I feel bad enough being so dumb, being sick to my stomach and forced to be left handed & in even more pain than usual is just not going down well here. Sigh. You might see if God has any extra brains lying about to send to me, heaven knows I need 'em. Thanks, hugs, Marji

PS This is Polly, all 17 lbs of her, and look at the size of those feet! She is very contrite, and she'll do it again in a heartbeat.
