((((Julia)))) I got a tetanus shot when I was about 11 or 12, but that was because I got scratched by a rusty barb on a rusty barb wire fence. Julia's injury sounds totally different.
Yay, Legion!
Belated Happy Birthday, askye!
And on behalf of all of us, thank you for the sympathies with Teddy. The hospital sent him home yesterday after his potassium had stabilized and his creatine came down (but still well above normal). He's on several medications and appears to be getting the hang of taking pills. At least, I hope so, because Hubs is going out of town tomorrow morning for business -- so I get to do the medication thing alone all week.
We also started looking at pet cemeteries yesterday. Because even if Teddy gets the miracle, we've realized we won't have him forever. Unfortunately, there seems to be only one in Fairfax County (Noah's Ark, in Falls Church), and their office hours are 10 to 4, Monday through Friday. So I'll be doing advance work during my time off this week.
Teddy is back at the vet tomorrow night for a follow-up.
Hugs to FredPete and Hubs. Facing a beloved pet's decline is one of the most painful experiences in the world. I am so sorry.
Cindy, I don't think the ER is necessary, but I would put a call in to the pediatrician tomorrow to make sure her tetanus is current enough. Sometimes they like to give a follow-up just in case.
Oh JZ, what a night! I am so sorry! I hope Matilda starts sleeping through the night soon.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CASSALICIOUS!
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY, BUFFISTA DADS!
ETA: This may be my favorite lolcat ever. I share it with all of you to bring in the happy.
Thank you for the birthday happies, I am very lucky to have such wonderful people in my life.
Happy Dad's Day to all boys what sprogged.
Why yes, I've had a similar accident. Why do you ask?
Ginger is wise in this. And me, apparently, because yeah, I've done that. And the call to just doublecheck on the tetanus status is a good idea.

Ha!
favorite lolcat ever.
Before I clicked the link I was thinking, "o we should all post links to our favorites!" But after I clicked the link I saw you already had. The expression on that kitteh's face is the apotheosis of cute.
Many Happy Returns of Cassie Day!
Happy Birthday, Cass! May there be many candles.
Happy Father's Day to the Dads.
{{Fred & Hubs}} Continued vibes for strength as you go through this difficult time.
Clicky fire!
Best birthday ever? ;)
Cindy, I think you've gotten good advice. I'd just watch it till tomorrow. No, actually, I'd fret and end up paging the doctor to have her calm me down, then need an Ativan so I could nap from all the working up I did. Then I'd watch it till Monday.
{{{Fred Pete and Hubs}}}. I'm glad Teddy's back home, though.
Happy birthday, Cass! May there be many race cars!
