Craig managed to cut his foot open last night-- and after a quick consult with my mom we decided it was not an ER worthy injury. So today though, he FINALLY has a check-up appt and they will check on his toe and at the least give him his VERY VERY overdue tetanus shot. Why are guys such wimps when it comes to dr visits??--- I swear, if it weren't for the injury, he'd still not be going for the shot.
I will say the injury itself I missed, I was inside when he got home-- and opened the door cursing. I walked over and he is dripping blood all over the floor. I got him a paper towel to try and sop up the mess and so we could see just what damage he had done. Meanwhile, Tiki wanders over and decides to explore her vampire side by licking at a drop of blood on the floor. Craig then freaked out-- I mean hollering like a mad man at the cat. She tore off quite confused to hide for a little while. When I came in from the kitchen with more paper towels-- I asked what they heck that had been about. His answer "I didn't want her getting a taste for blood" Ah yes dear, the cat is going to go dracula on you at night... silly boy.
Craig then dripped his way up the stairs and we got his foot cleaned up, antiseptic-ed and bandaged. Wings were slightly delayed due to the hijinx-- but all in all things are fine. He's got a half-dozen bandaids wrapped around his toe-- the duct tape ones-- those are seriously the best thinsg ever-- but since the box I had did not contain the "man's big toe" size -- I've got a bundle of them stuck all over to keep it on. We'll see what the doc says when he goes in.
Lesson learned-- time to get a real first aid kit-- and more bandaids.

I did not freak out... I just shoooed the cat away so that she wont decide that my blood is tasy and try to naw off my head in the middle of the night.... she is a very devios cat.... it might happen.... just look at her....
Duke (our cat) has had a lick of blood before and I don't see him gnawing off Daniel's head in the middle of the night... not that I'd blame Duke or Tiki, you men are overly loud to the poor kitties! :)
Jack knows for sure that if Pookie gets a taste of blood, he'll never sleep again. Tiki, well, maybe she's too sweet.
I'm glad your toe is ok. You two need lots of practice in the "mommy/daddy will kiss it and make it all better category.
I asked for Jesse to kiss it.... but she didn't.....=(
I never saw the duck tape bandaids - I guess I need a trip to the store! Tiki already got the taste, Craig will never sleep with his head out of the covers again! Gnawing won't start with your head, it's that toe sticking out of the covers. LOL
Woohoo! I wondered if this post would bring out the non-commenting Craig! She does look devious, I'll give you that. LOL!
p.s. Craig, I love you--but try spell check!
p.s.s. I miss you uncle craig and aunt jesse and tell murphy I miss him and I love you! from m.
