She's sleeping. The hand is still warm. She's had Augmentin for 24 hours now- three doses. Antibiotics usually take a day for them to hit her. She refused to go to the ER, as the urgent care doc said to keep an eye on it for 24-48 hours. So I'm keeping watch on her.
The wounds bled quite a lot after the cat was convinced to let go (damn cat), and that helped with the initial 'clean out'. She's cleaned the sites out with saline and repacked them with antibiotic ointment three times.
And damn skippy she's a stubborn woman. She's put up with me for 27 years of marriage. Gotta have a head like granite for that !
I'm giving her tonight to rest. In the AM if it's not getting better she's going to the ER either in the car on in the ambulance. I'm afraid I'm a bit too weak and busted up to carry her. (If I tried to lift her my two hernias would blow all the way open, and I'd be in the ER right next to her. My surgery is later this month. Yay ! :confused
