Thank you for your very kind words, blue nova.
After a lovely visit to Huntington Library and Gardens, and at the location of our picnic, I was bitten
by a very large German Shepherd. Now I will have an interesting scar, just outside of, and almost
following all the way around, the right aureola. Morphine really works, by the way, and I got my first
I.V. The stitches come out Tuesday after next, according to the plastic surgeon who did the stitching.
Although it was a very unfortunate experience (a seemingly nice dog whose owner I had a conversation
with for at least 10 minutes suddenly lunged and bit me once very hard) I felt blessed that Steve was with
me, no one else was at the Emergency room in the hospital (kind of unheard of, wouldn't you say?), the
doctor and the plastic surgeon he sent for (not at my request) were both very old and experienced, and
the place and the nurses were quite nice. Now as long as it doesn't get infected (I was tremendously worried
about that) and if the dog's owner would pay the medical bills, I will be quite happy...
Thanks again...
Serena
