You all know the old saying the "best laid plans of mice and men". Well it's true. The family, wife, and kid, had planned had planned to go to this music festival, however that is now on hold. The kid has to go in and have surgery. Nothing really major, but shouldn't be postponed due to it could be. She was packing up her gear last night for the trip, and one of her pets bit her on the finger, yeah it was a mouse.
Well a few hours after the bite, her finger swelled up to the size of a polish sausage. Sooooooo at 2:30 this AM I had to take her into the ER to be checked. This morning after a follow up visit, she now goes in for surgery on Fri. This is the preventive part. They are going to open the finger up, and scrape, and flush it out, to prevent any infection. She could wait to see what happens, but the possibility of it spreading up further into her arm, would mean more areas to be opened.
She feels so bad that this happened, and we will have to miss the festival. Toby Kieth, and Alabama are 2 of the 3 headliners. I assured her it was no big deal. That and she really wanted to see this one performer so badly. Oh well whats a father to do? I told her that this is my job, to take care of her, but it still bugs her that she thinks she ruined my weekend.
So just a bit of advice watch your pets, and kids, who knows what may happen.
Like the one country song says, I don't care if your 80 your still my baby.
