Coronavirus

 

That is a picture of a Coronavirus. It's not a picture of my bruise. I thought I'd give you a break from that. If you put it on a chain and attached it to a stick, it looks kinda like a weapon called the mace. 
   Coronavirus has been in the news a lot lately. Some people were saying it was being blown out of proportion by the news media. 
   Wednesday night, the President addresses it. Then Friday, some emergency proclamations were issued. I haven't heard the people who were saying it was being blown out of proportion commenting on that. They may be out trying to find toilet paper???
   I don't have the Coronavirus. I don't know anybody who has the Coronavirus. I don't know anybody who wants the Coronavirus. But I know some people that definitely don't need to be exposed to it. And some of them are my relatives. The person that just finished chemotherapy whose immune status is probably at its lowest it'll ever be. Coronavirus could kill them.

6 days after dog bite

   I changed my mind. This is 144 hours (6 days after the dog bite), the lump is still there and the bruise is still spreading around my body. I'll update some more later tonight or possibly tomorrow.

There's a Bright Spot

 

 Heaven, I'm in Heaven. My heart beats so that I can hardly speak....
   Oh, hi there. I was just singing while I was waiting on you to show up. Today's 

5 days after dog bite

Wednesday. Last night I had my wife take a picture and I just want to say, it's looking a lot better. So it was 5 days after the dog bite. It's looking better, the bruise is starting to fade in the middle. 
   


   It is still spreading around my hip. And since it's Wednesday,

Cheek to cheek

hump day if you will, I'll let you do a comparison. I can see the lump from the bite on the bruised side. And I can see just a little of the bruised side on the picture taken from the non-bitten side.

That's . . . . . Strange

   At least I think it's strange. Or maybe it's weird, it could be that it's perfectly normal. I don't know.
   Last night I got my wife to take a picture of my dog

96 hours after dog bite

bitten rear. I looked
at it. Then I looked again. Then I looked a 3rd time. And maybe a 4th time too. Then I asked Yvette if I was seeing what I thought I was seeing. She said I was. Do you see it? I'll give you a second to think about it. 
   Wait, I'll highlight it for you. I've circled it with a yellow highlighter.

Dog bite bruise

The bruise jumped to the other buttock. Like Evil Knievel jumping over a line of buses. And cleared it. Honestly, it's the strangest bruise I've had. Evah.

In Case You Wondered

   I'm sure the thought has been bothering you all day. How was Nelson's bruise last night?
   Well, it seems to be dissipating nicely. At last if dissipating means it's still spreading.
The knot isn't quite as

72 hours after dog bite

big as it was. But it's still kinda painful if it's touched. Okay, maybe real painful. You know when you open.the screen door and catch it with your hip while you open the interior door. 
   That's not a good idea. And you get reminded of that if you happen to catch the screen door with your hip.
   I do want to point one thing out before I

See the dog bite

leave this post today. The bruise is not exactly even. There are 2 spots where the bruise is not colorful. Where the teeth where, isn't bruised. That's what is kinda weird. At least to me is weird. I'm not really sure.
   The dog  didn't mean to bite me. I don't think she meant to. She better not have.

That'll Bite You in the Butt

   The dog. That is. She's never bitten anyone before that I recall. Not intentionally. Maybe snapped at someone for trying to take her food. Or a bone. 
   So I'm not mad at her. Somebody else told me that the animals around themwere agitated at almost the exact same time.
   I realized that I only showed you the after effects yesterday. So I should have started at the beginning. This is ½ hour after it happened. It was already bruising up nicely, don't you think?

½ hour after dog bite

  It was already feeling like a knot, so I knew it was going to make a really impressive bruise. And it has lived up to my expectations.
   Saturday night, about 8:30, I got Yvette to take a picture. It is

48 hours after dog bite

moving along nicely. And the Dr said it would look worse before it looked better. She knew what she was talking about for sure. But she usually does. She's a bright woman.
   It's not the worst bruise I've ever had on my butt. Sadly. I got kicked by a steer once that went from the middle of my thigh up to around my kidney.
  But that's enough for today, I'll share more soon. I'm sure.

This is Awkward

   I haven't written anything in a while. Way too long a while, honestly.
   I've had stuff I could have written about, but I didn't. And things I wanted to write about, but I couldn't. 

   If you continue, you might see a side of me you haven't seen before. My backside, to be precise. 

   So, let me see, first a little background. Years ago I worked security at a bar. The worst thing that I ever had to do was break up a fight between 2 females. That hasn't changed. Thursday night when Yvette was coming in the house, 2 of the dogs started fighting. I don't know why, they might not know why either. But we were working to separate them. Yvette had one dog by the collar trying to pull her away and when we got them apart, I got between them.

   And that's when I got bit. I kinda got lucky. When the dog bit me, she bit where my can of snuff is in my back pocket so she couldn't get her mouth to close but so far. But it was enough.

   I think it was enough, don't you think it was enough? This was

Dog bite after 2½ hours

2½ hours after. It was starting to bruise nicely and it was painful. And felt hard to the touch. And I couldn't stand to sit on that side. And I couldn't lay on my right side in bed without some minor discomfort.

   But it gets better. Or worse, depending on how you look at it. I woke up during the

Dog bite after 7½ hr

night with some not quite as minor discomfort so I decided to take a picture. The bruise is getting bigger. And darker. And firmer. And more painful.

   In the morning I told Yvette I was going to the doctor. She agreed that that was a good idea. The diagnosis was a hematoma. With a recommendation of putting ice on it. And take aspirin or Tylenol or something OTC for pain. So that's what I did. 

   I took another picture Friday night at 8:30. 24 hours after

the bite. I'm not sure if it's done getting worse or not. You probably should tune in tonight or tomorrow sometime. Hopefully I'll remember to take a picture and write something about it.

There's a Song About This

   Seriously, there is.
   I ordered something and I had to go pick it up at the store. No big deal. I've doned that before. I can handle this.
   You may or may not know, the first semi-appropriate thought that goes through my head is probably coming out of my mouth. I say semi-appropriate because it might not always be appropriate words, but it relates to the situation.
   As I walk up to the counter and lay my drivers license down, the lady behind the counter says "I love you."
   Wow, this lady takes her work at pick up VERY seriously. So I reply, "I love you, too?"
   She picks up my license and is typing my name in and asks how she can help me. So I replied "don't tell my wife that you told me you love me?"
  She kinda laughed and told me she had my address. I told her it was too far away for her to go just to tell my wife. She said she had my phone number too. And how did I know she didn't know somebody from around there.
   I told her I wouldn't be surprised if she did. Then she said she didn't know anybody there, she grew up in Pennsylvania. 
  I told her my wife grew up in Pennsylvania so she asked what part. 
   I was putting my license back on my billfold as I told her just north of Pittsburgh. Natrona. Natrona Heights. Something like that.
   I look up and she's looking down shaking her head. I'm used to that reaction, but I had to find out WHY she was shaking her head.
   She grew up in Murrysville. Her mother was from Franklin Park. And her dad was from Alliquippa. All less than 50 miles from Natrona Heights.
   I walked out humming:
