I'm happy! I'm bored. I'm depressed :(I do so love Warrior Princess's cat, Tiger, but he's a little quirky. He cannot be overstimulated. So he bit me back in July- wasn't his fault! When I reached over to scatch behind his ear, little did I know that he had previously been hanging out with FootballPlayinMan for a bit of canoodling .
Ok, at the time I was seriously pissed because the bite got infected which led to a tetnus shot, an antibiotic shot in the ass and, ten days of horse pills (augmentin). Grrrr!
A few weeks prior to this I had been in to see the dentist because my f**king million dollar implant was loose. The implant which only has a 5% failure rate. He scheduled me to have it removed and have another round of grafting with an even larger implant. Grrr times 2!
At the end of August I went in for the procedure. Long story short -after trying to unscrew the thing from my jaw, an x-ray revealed the bone had grown around the threads of the screw. It was no longer loose. So I went home and gently but quickly kissed the little mofo cuz he saved me from dental surgery. Doctor Frankenstein theorized that all the antibiotics from the cat bite somehow stimulated bone growth. I don't care. I will get my tooth put back on in February (because it has to heal from all the ratcheting in August). One round of augmentin is good, another must be great, so I'm in for more ginormous pill swallowing. Besides the stinking cat bite wound is still healing, believe it or not! HappyHappyJoyJoy.
Less than a week later I'm spending the afternoon in the ER with TestCase.He recently had a med increase due to seizures in July and August. One day into the new dosage (depakote), he called me and asked me to pick him up from work, he's feeling auras, he wants to get out of there. WTF?? This the middle of the day, he never has seizures in the middle of the day, he has never called me from work for a seizure. Aura-s -plural??
I picked him up. He was still experiencing auras, he felt dizzy. His speech was slurry and he looked droopy. He felt like he was going to have a seizure. Normally, I am calm. I know what to do. But this- This was Weird. I gave him another 100 mg of lamictal that I carry in my purse and took him to the ER. He was admitted, put in a padded bed, had blood drawn, IV inserted. We were in the hallway for at least 3 hours. That's ok because they were very, very busy and time is our friend in SeizureWorld. He slept for most of the time. He slept through bookends of mentally ill persons screaming about hypocrisy and people staring at them. He slept through at least 4 ambulance arrivals and the comings and goings of hords of people. It occurred to me that he probably had a seizure while waiting for me to pick him up in his truck, because he was sleeping so soundly. That's normal after a seizure. When the doc came, he was feeling better, no more auras. She consulted with his neurologist and they decided to give the med dosage increase some more time. He's been just fine ever since. I think we spent hours in the ER for no good reason. He just needed to sleep it off. I feel stupid. I don't usually take him in for a seizure unless he bashes his head and needs stitches. Like I said, time is our friend when dealing with seizures, but I was freaked out. I'm losing my touch, cuz I don't freak out. But I did, so I'm depressed about all this.

Sounds to me like you did the right thing. Like you said, this was different. It turned out that he didn't need to be in the E.R., but things could have gone differently. You're not losing your touch, you're just adjusting to a new situation. :)
You can't be too careful, I'm sure you did the right thing.
I'm shocked at the quantity of antibiotics they gave you - we usually only get 5 days, 'cos they get so overused there is really nasty stuff that's built up resistance to them. When my little wild cat was first here, she bit me on the thumb, and it got infected. I happened to have some leftover antibiotic cream in the house. It cured it in a few days.
Glad the jaw situation is OK, though.
come on onw, give yourself a break! don't be so hard on yourself:) like you said, you've never dealt w/ it like this b4.
Sweetheart, when I read "...the bone had grown around the threads of the screw..." I didn't think this post could get worse.
But then your poor boy. And you. And your family. Scary.
You absolutely did the right thing. You just can't be too careful and best he slept it off in the hospital surrounded by doctors.
As for your tooth...OUCH! Dental work is the worst. And I'm glad the cat bite healed as well. Boy when it rains it pours.
diesel -thanks, sometimes life's a rollercoaster and we're always making those adjustments.
val -I cleaned it out and put antibiotic ointment on it but, no luck. It took over 2 months to heal and I was | | this close to having an IV. It was nasty.
Aw Kris, I pride myself on being so damn tough. The ER's for sissies don't ya know!
But Jocelyn the bone growing over the threads of the screw is a GOOD thing. ER-bad bonescrew-good !!
jojo- i know, all's well that end's well, right?
Oh goodness you're hard on yourself. You did the wise thing - being cautions - you should be happy it turned out not to be serious!
Whatever decision you made in that moment was and is the right one for your son. As parents, we can be awfully hard on ourselves because we want so desperately for everything to be good for our kids. Hope he's doing good.
As to your tooth - good luck, I've got some root canal dental woes coming my way...better not think about it until I'm in the dentist's chair.
I'll just say rather safe than sorry hon! I would have done the same.
However, I would mount the cat's head on my dashboard ;-)
AXE!! Good Lord. I've never been bitten by my cats, but my dad was and his hand swelled up to twice it's normal size. (I know my day will come)
Don't beat yourself up Claire, your instincts said...Get help for my son, and you did!
i have FINALLY received my mail and i received your gift. that was incredibly sweet. thank you so much. i'm so sorry i didnt get it until late. my mailbox jammed and i eventually had to go to the post office to get all my mail! anyway, like i said, that was really sweet. i need your e-mail address so i can talk to you on there!
Dr. Frankenstein... bwahahaha! Antibiotics = not fun. But please finish the full course: I get very upset when people don't take them for the full length of time. They're playing with their health, and mine.
You made a good judgement call.
jay -oh, I'm grateful of the outcome for sure.
g -good luck with the root canal. Done right it doesn't hurt (really!)
axe -OMG!! Kind of extreme aren't you? (oh, yeah -you ARE! LOL)
tess -You're a cat lover, so you understand about this stuff, right?
BD -you're welcome. it was my pleasure.
EOH -oh don't worry I finished every last one on schedule.
Hey, I just realized that I haven't heard from you in like forever. I hope everything is ok. Drop by or send me an email some time.
