As someone nicely asked, here is the story of my bite. On Tuesday night I was giving a feline patient his medication. He was a strong cat and had spit out this pill a few times, so his face was covered in saliva. During one of the last attempts my finger slipped into his mouth and he clamped shut. It wasn't his fault or mine. For anyone who doesn't know, cat teeth are like razors and with the force he used, he cut to my bone on both sides of my finger (even through the finger nail) and did muscle damage. The next day, when the swelling hadn't gone down, John forced me to the Dr. Upon hearing that I got bit and hadn't had my Tetanus shot updated in 15ish years, the Dr prescribed some antibiotics and the gave me the shot (intramuscular). Upon seeing my finger, he canceled the first prescription and wrote me another for a MUCH stronger one. So that is the story of my my entire left arm in out of commission.
Next Thursday I head to Victoria again, this time for 10 days! Four of those will be in the bush! I'm so excited.
As for my spelling, I was pissed off and ventingmy frustration on my keyboard. If you read further into the post you can see that I spelled it correctly. :)

UHRA was fantastic! A class full of adults given permission to act like 12 year olds for the weekend. It was great!

I'm sorry, which Jennifer is this and where would I know you from? I thought maybe the Jenn I work with but she said no. Now I'm drawing a blank.

OMG!!!! You were the other Jen I was wondering about! I've emailed Jim a couple of times, and no one got back to me, so I didn't think it was you. Do you still have my email address?

Yeah, still have it, things have just been UBER busy here, Tori and I have been sick, and I have been to SO many appointments for car accident stuff. It's at least once or twice a week lately. So frustrating. Oh well, that's life.
