Dangers of my job

I had a really bouncy Labrador to vaccinate last week. Her owners did not hold her still and I managed to put the needle through her skin and then stab myself straight in the thumb which resulted in blood dripping on her golden fur!

It was very painful and my thumb swelled up but I did not think anything of it. Suddenly this week, my knee swelled up. It was red and hot and sore so I reluctantly went to the doctor and was put straight onto antibiotics (the ones we use) and she said that it could have been caused by the infection in my finger.

I do feel slightly fluey as well, so yes, my job carries its rewards and its risks!
