Wow, I was just rereading my rants, and 2023 was a mess.
2024 & 2025 were ok, not perfect, but ok, other than December 22nd 2025, at 11:14 pm, I was bitten by a semi-feral cat my mam is trying to tame. Parents were on a little holiday until Christmas Eve, so I was home alone.
I ended up going to the hospital via bus, was there until early morning, 23rd, probably 2 or 4 am, and was told to go straight to a different hospital (note: I was given 2 Paracetamol tablets hours after I said I was in pain and one round of what I was told was Antibiotics just before I left).
The other hospital (which I got to by taxi) was much better; they kept on top of my pain with liquid Paracetamol straight to the vein (Cannula) and gave me multiple rounds of Antibiotics.
I ended up having surgery on the 2 wounds the bite made, was stitched & bandaged up, and as soon as I recovered from the sleepy knockout drugs they gave me, I was home (via bus again & with Antibiotics and some stronger pain killers (Co-Codamol it's briliant) and got to eat the pizza I didn't finish before I was bitten.
It's now been about 18 days, and I'm healing well. I had the bandages taken off on December 31st and was told to return to my normal activities, but be extra mindful of my stitches. I'm still in some pain, but it's manageble with my normal Paracetamol tablets, and I'm getting extra cuddles from Titan and Shadow.
And that's my life update XD.
