>Here's my take. I like a man, and I'm nasty enough to >want/expect such a man of the hunk persuation to be >able to handle a little pain. Especially in a book. >Real life, okay, I get that cat scratches hurt, and >I'm not saying that it isn't something that would have >the cause and effect that you've shown. Been there, >to an extent below that depicted here, but the other >experiences I bring to mind when I read have a hard >time saying okay, it's bad. > >Now of course, this is based on my being the observer, >not the actual participant, but that is what I'm doing >when I read. Observing. So... > >I've witnessed my DH tear his index finger on a piece >of metal so that the bone was showing, dip it in paint >thinners to stop the bleeding, tape it up in black >electicians tape and go back to work. Okay not the >smartest thing, but he got the job done, and there was >no scar. > >Once he suffered burns serious enough to leave scars >on his hands, and he took maybe four tylenol. And >that was after they took him into physio, did the boil >bath as I call it and got the brush out and scrubbed >off the dead skin. He had a prescription, but >couldn't get the top off and wouldn't ask and when I >opened it he said he'd gone this long without it so he >didn't need it. > >Work related accident, had his hand stuffed into a >window and severed the tendon across the top. He sat >in emercency for hours, finally was told yup you need >surgery. Waited some more, had another emergency come >in the hospital and was sent home to wait for the >phone call. Only took four days. His hand swelled up >to the size of one of those plastic gloves they use >when blown full of air. He didn't take one single >tylenol. > >And then the last one a couple summers ago, when I >woke up at 5am to a sweaty sweet sickly smell (yay for >alliterations!) and realized he was in pain, took him >to emergency. They hooked him up to all those lovely >machines, let him wait for a few hours and sent him >home. Couple days later, same thing. Again at around >5am. Took him to the hospital. The last Harry Potter >book had just come out, and the four of us all had a >different book and were reading in our little cubby. >Around 11 am the nurse comes in, tells us his blood >work is done and once the dr comes he can go home. >Apparently, he didn't look like he was in pain, so he >wasn't a priority. Couple hours later, dr comes in, >and says it'll only be a couple more minutes and he >can go home. Then she looks at the chart, says whoa, >that's not good and asks him what they gave him for >pain and how long ago. He didn't ask for anything, so >they didn't give him anything. He was admitted >immediately and was scheduled for surgery. And took >nothing when he got home for pain. > >And my gosh he does sound accident prone, but that is >what I've seen over the last 18 years. Before my >time, he broke his back and still has that to deal >with everyday, and he has a scar on his leg from his >ankle to just below his knee where he broke it. > >Sorry, but in my mind, Daniel got scratched up by a >cat. One that just got hit by a car, so was hurt and >probly freaking, (although, when I read that the cat >was hit, I imagined s/he was hurt bad, as in not >moving, barely alive, which could seriously effect my >perception) but still, I don't get it. So your job is >to get me to believe that his injuries are that >serious. And it prolly wouldn't hurt to have the side >effect of whatever they gave him discussed cause I >know nothing and if I read that something will make >him sleepy and totally out of it, I'm all for it, and >then hopefully I'll get it. Don't tell me they hurt, >you have to show me, and yup, I realize it's in a >previous scene I haven't read yet, so that's >hypothetically impossible and you've prolly addressed >these things already. *G* Now, being a totally blank >slate for what actually happens and what they need to >do for cat shredded hands and potential bites, I have >no clue. Remember I know nothing, just giving my >impression. > >And maybe, just maybe, this is a really big hint that >I need to read that scene! ;-) > >Hugs > >Esther
