Funniest serious illness I've ever had: Cat Scratch Fever! [View All]

[REP]

My "wild" cat, who is not in fact wild but acts like it, as injured me pretty badly nearly every time I've handled her. Once she got me bad enough I needed stitches. This past Sunday night, she sunk her claws into so deeply I couldn't get the wounds to bleed, I had a feeing it could go one of two ways, and when I woke up with my hand and arm swollen, I knew it had gone the bad way. I'm immune-impaired, so after my doctor stopped laughing he freaked out and put me on a million antibiotics and a complicated schedule of heating pads and elevation.

I just know I feel horrible and I can't get Ted Nugent out of my head!
