Note to self: In a small bathroom, move the bare feet AWAY from the edge

shower starts.

She landed, in a panic, with her back paw on the top of my foot, then
pushed off and ran.
Without my glasses, I couldn't see a thing, so my thought process went
something like this:
'Oh dear, that's gonna hurt.'
'Ow, that hurts!'
'YOWCH!'

Well, I hopped in the shower and scrubbed everything down with soap and
water, then went into the bedroom to dry off. Put on my glasses and looked
down, and there was a large amount of blood on the top of my foot, and it
HURT a whole lot. *sigh* You'd think I'd learn to stay out of her way,
y'know? I've got some lovely long deep scratches right on the top of my
foot. It's gonna leave a lovely mark. Good thing I'm not a foot model,
huh?

It's patched up with lots of antibacterial ointment and bandages, and I
can actually get a shoe on today, so I don't think it's infected, but as a
diabetic, I'm going to watch very carefully. I have an appt with my endo
tomorrow anyway, so it'll get seen by someone medical.

Are you bothered (as I am) with itching as the scratch heals? MLB
