Scratched
A wrong move over the holiday weekend resulted in my right hand getting a swift strike from a cat. It's not serious, but is making typing a bit difficult for a day or two, so postings may be a bit short. The whole thing had me making joking remarks to friends about getting cat scratch fever, and so I was prompted today to look up exactly what that is. I found that the preferred term is now cat scratch disease. As I also learned, it's much less common for an adult to get it. My chances of getting it are reduced even more by living in the West instead of the humid Southeast.
A lot of us remember Cat Scratch Fever as a song by Ted Nugent. Awhile back, Ted got his own severe case of scratch, when he was injured filming. He ended up with 40 stitches in his leg after a mishap with a mean old chainsaw.
