Still Grateful

Well I am at work today and get a call from Tamala about 11:30am thinking it is her usual call during her lunch break. Well, not today!
She calls me and says she's been bitten by a dog that is owned by one of the residents she cleans for on a bi-weekly basis. She has been cleaning for this couple for two years and they've had this dog for about one year. The dog has seen her plenty of times to get used to her, or one would think.
Anyway, the dog was sitting on its owners lap when Tamala came over and bent down & reached out to pet the dog when it sprang up and bit her on the right side of the nose.
I met her at an Occupational Medical Clinic in Lenexa and the Doctor said she would rather send Tamala to the ER so a Plastic Surgeon could take a look at it. So, off to the ER we go. She was seen by an ER doctor and was treated and received a few stitches. She was given a prescription for Augmenten (anti-biotic) and sent home. Anyway, we're still Grateful because it could have been much, much worse.
So, that has been our day - how has yours been?
