11. Cat bites are tough. Got a minor nip on my hand and it blew up like a ballon.

I went to the doc's and they gave me a shot to prevent infection. After about a week the hand was pretty much back to normal.

Glad you went to the ER even though the situation was less than desirable. Hive are the devil's curse. When I had them I wanted to cut my arms and legs off. Reaction to a series of penicillin shots after dental surgery. So I totally empathize with you.

The management of the ER was totally ridiculous. Definitely should have kept the Covid positive people in an isolated area. What a dreadful experience all the way around.

Hope all turns out well for you going forward.
