When life bites you in the calf...

We have just returned from our fun filled holiday in Singapore yesterday evening and wished that the holiday would never end (don't we all!)! Anyway, after a lot of nice Singapore foods (including some McD although that was taken out of necessity rather than nice) and ice creams (Swensens and Ben & Jerry's), I decided to go for a jog around my neighbourhood to burn some those calories. All was well during the jog until a dog attacked me! Everyone asked me afterwards whether it was a big dog and I just said it was a medium sized dog... no famous breed, just a "cha-pa-lang" crazy dog!! Urggh.

It took a nip at my calf and was all bloodied! There isn't much pain then but I guess it was the adrenalin that was still pumping in my body to feel the enormisity of the pain (like now)! When the "stupid" dog bit me, I turned around to look at it and it ran away!! Cowardly dog!!! If it attacked me again, I would have kicked it in the nose! Hah!

My wife took me to the hospital and fortunately the bite wasn't deep enough for any stitches. Just two shots of anti-tetanus and antibiotic (augmentin). So besides getting a sore and painful right calf, I now have a sore left arm, after the two jabs... oouch!

I will blog later about our Singapore trip after this pain subsides... for now, I need to get some rest. No thanks to the dog!

I am posting a picture of my calf that has been dressed (so no open wounds here) but if you are quesy of such things, please don't look at it. It is still bloodied despite the dressing. Will need to go back to the hospital for fresh dressing tomorrow.
