DR George, thanks for the vibes for Karen!

Vibes for Karen and for you. I dislike dental problems the worst, even considering everything I've been through from lymphoma. 

Thank you, DR Dan M.  Compared to what Karen's going through, my problem is minor.  But annoying...

Well, it's been an eventful week.  I got a bat proofer to seal the house and find out where the bats were coming in. He found a place right near my bedroom window, he put in the one way door they use (bats can get out but not back) and said he'd seal it up in a month when he was sure they were all gone.

I started thinking about the fact that the trim around my bedroom floor wasn't complete. Prior owners had taken out the quarter round when they installed carpet and I hadn't replaced it (on the to do list for years).  So I took off yesterday afternoon, went to home depot, got all the stuff I needed and put down about 52 feel of quarter round.

As I was doing that, Ricky was very curious about a spot on the back of my mattress and it reminded me that I had stuck my had under my pillow in that area either Friday or Saturday and thought I scratched my hand on something. I was going to look later to see what it was.  I had some marks on my finger where I thought I scratched it

When I got done working I relaxed awhile and then started looking for photos of bat bites.  The first one that came up looked exactly like my finger. CRAP!  So about 11:00 pm  I called the free nurse at a local hospital and she told me to go to the Emergency room immediately and not wait until morning, that I had already waited longer than I should have

So at 11:45 PM I went to the emergency room.  They said it looked like a bite.  I had to meet with an agent from Animal Control.  He said "looks like a bat bit to me".  We discussed the situation and I learned they would come out in the middle of the night to get a bat.  Who knew?   Since I didn't keep the bat, we had to assume it was rabid.  That meant I have to have all the rabies shots

I was at the ER until about 3:00 AM.   I got a number of shots and have three more to go.

Today I called the vet and she said even though the cats were current on their shots, they needed a booster, so I herded them together and they have been boosted. There is often a quarantine requirement for animals, but since mine are inside cats and I'm the only one around them, I just have to keep an eye on them.  I'm not too concerned about that

I haven't had a decent night's sleep since Friday.  I was planning to work at home so I could watch the cats in case they reacted to their shots.  I came home, laid down for a minute and woke up 5 hours later.  Boy did I need that

Now I just pray my insurance company covers this.  It's very expensive, but if you get rabies you die.  So, there really isn't a choice.

I guess it has been.  I was a basket case for a few days.  Getting the quarter round down and therefore sealing the bedroom much better was a huge relief.  After that, the cats quit acting weird and seemed to relax, although they were pretty wound up when I got home at 3:00 AM.  I had a nagging feeling that has gone away since getting the medical treatment started.

I'm glad you thought to look up bat bites, Cillaliz.  Hopefully the bat wasn't sick and you'd be fine anyway.

Well, it doesn't matter now if it was sick or not, with the shots I won't get rabies.

I was just reading up on rabies on Wikipedia. You have 100% chance of survival.

Yup.  Get rabies = die.  Get shots = no rabies.  There was no decision to make

It took them awhile since it was the middle of the night.  Luckily one of the doctors at the ER had given the shots to a man recently when he reached up into an area in his attic and was bitten.

Happy things resolved for you and that you'll be okay. But, bats are rats with wings. Yecch. They're always flying around here at night, which is okay since they eat many of the pests like mosquitos and gnats, but to have them inside is another thing. I had to catch one once in college. It had gotten into one of the halls, and I had to keep it from getting into the music library. Many students and workers fled the library in fear. Like some kind of monster movie.

I like bats, but we don't have a problem with them out here. It is a treat to get to see one at all.

We have lots of bats here, but they usually don't get into the living spaces of houses this early in the season.  The animal control officer told me he's been getting about 2 calls a night to get  bats from houses.

TOD: I love almost all vegetables as long as they are prepared right. I prefer raw best of all because of the freshness of the flavors.

I'm not big on rutabagas, but I've had them made with plenty of butter and cream -- and that seemed to do magic.
