animal bite!

For those of you who have not recently sustained a severe animal bite:
Isn't is wonderful? As far as animal bites go, you have not a care in the world. You're not looking for signs of infection; you don't have to take antibiotics or get shots of any kind! Imagine how terrible it would be to have to look down at your bandage, knowing that beneath it, it's anyone's guess what sort of animal-borne pestilence is eating away at your health. Feels great not to have that burden doesn't it? And also, animal bites scar, especially the bad ones. When that cute looking dog from the park gnashes down on the blade of your hand and starts thrashing back and forth with those deadly neck muscles, your flesh is torn to freyed ruins. That kind of injury doesn't just heal over. For the rest of your life, you'll look down and see those swollen pink mounds, numb to any sensation, and be able to count the teeth of your attacker. Thank goodness you don't have to worry about that. You don't have to worry about newly sowed animal phobias. You don't have to worry about explaining for the next month "what happened to your [whatever got bitten]." Rest easy, you're in the clear.

For those of you who have recently sustained a severe animal bite:
Try and look on the bright side. As long as you keep it clean and get the shots you need, you should be okay. You also have the option of revenge by having the animal put down, if you're still mad enough to be vengeful. There's some special topical ointments that you can buy that are supposed to minimize scarring, so you might want to look into that too. Understandably, things are going to be tough for a while. These things take time to heal, emotionally as well as physically, but such is the way of life. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger as a person. If you take but one thing away from this unfortunate experience, learn a lesson. Chin up, take your vitamins, and good luck with your recovery.
