If it's clear, it's not puss, vw. It's just the plasma. Puss takes time to form after an infection. The liquid contains stuff that will help heal the wound and scab over. Just clean it with hydrogen peroxide and dab it with a little gauze pad. Keep it clean as possible.

Cut the hydrogen peroxide by half with water, it will make it less intense.

I couldn't find hydrogen peroxide, so I used isopropyl alcohol instead. I will survive.
I've got it re-bandaged. I'm going to have a former nurse look at it when I get to school, since the nurse from my doctor's office hasn't called back yet.

If there are cats coming out of your wound, it's definitely bad. I think you only get pus if it's infected, though.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

How did the cats get in there in the first place?

Ouch. Alcohol is worse that peroxide.
Because of my advanced klutziness, I have field-tested almost every bandage out there, and the ones you leave on such as Johnson & Johnson's Advanced Healing or Band-aid Active Flex/Advanced Healing are worth every dime of their inflated price. Cuts heal literally days faster with less scarring, and usually one bandage will do it. They're also exciting to me because I am not allergic to whatever adhesive they use that keeps the bandage on for days. Most adhesives leave neat, bandage-shaped rashes.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I had a less than stellar weekend. Saturday evening I started having digestive problems, which are lingering. Not the usual stomach flu, but it started as a sharp pain in my stomach which finally let up enough that I could sleep and subsided to an achy feeling low in the abdomen (central area) that persists today. I'm seeing the doctor tomorrow, but it's annoying.
Then, early Monday morning, we had a fire in my building. The alarm on my floor didn't go off for about half an hour - which meant I slept through them evacuating the other six floors and the firefighters arriving. When it did go off, I got out of my apartment to discover I couldn't get off my floor without having to fight my way through a lot of firefighting equipment. The people in the apartment where the fire was are in the hospital, seriously burned. The building management is looking into why the alarm didn't go off. There's also been a fuss and there are going to be investigations - and possibly legislation - to ban the kind of alarm we have (old ... and it has to be pulled by someone to go off).
