So, as a follow up to my last post, I went for my actual LEEP procedure, which left much to be desired. I'm not going to go into details. Suffice it to say, I went in, the whole thing went just like I expected and now I am not allowed to do anything fun (like sex or having baths/sitting in hot tubs) for a month. A MONTH. BAH!! Aside from a follow up appointment in 6 weeks, I should be fine. Lets just hope.
But this post is not about that.This post is about what happend to me AFTER my surgery yesterday.
After the surgery I went shopping and did really well... 7 shirts, 2 hoodies, a hat and some pants for under $75. Not bad at all.
I got home and since it was so nice outside, figured I would take Dragon outside on a "leash" (aka string) and let him enjoy the nice outsideness and eat some leaves and stuff like that. All good intentions. So much for that idea. The minute we got outside he took off like a bandit, running like those frilled lizards do, up on his hind legs and trying to get away as quick as possible. Obviously he couldn't get away, and when he realized this he was MAD. He puffed himself up, opened his mouth and tried to look scary. But I wasn't really scared.
I kinda led him around the yard, which was pretty easy. I took him over to some dandelions and attempted to feed him one. Little did I know this would backfired immensely. He snapped at my finger and I pulled back... I thought he'd just nipped me, but when I looked at my finger he'd snapped my finger nail in half, about half way down my fingernail. I kinda looked at it in disbelief, trying to figure out what to do. I couldn't very well pick him up, for the risk of losing more fingers was NOT what I had in mind. I yelled at my dad to bring me a tissue and kinda just stood there dazed.
I managed to get him back into his tank by means of a cardboard box. I closed the tank, told him he was a jerk and went downstairs to see what I could do interms of bandaging my finger up and what kinda damage I'd endured.
After wrapping it up in layers of gauze and tape, I felt confident to continue my life..... my finger was throbbing with pain, and still is, but at least it's stopped bleeding. I'm not entirely sure what to do about it, as I don't really want to pull the top part of my nail off, and have exposed finger tip, but it's going to eventually grow up and come off anyway. I'm debating gluing a fake nail on the end and holding it together that way.
I don't blame dragon, he was only doing what he should - defending himself. He's not a cat or dog, so it's not like i can discipline him for attacking me. This was just me trying to be nice and getting shit for it. Surprise surprise. Haha.
