[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 364982, member: 1991"] Just a late night update - according to how I feel now, I don't think I'll be going to the writers meeting tomorrow. I have to go out tomorrow night, and tonight I'm so tired (I've got the "sleepies", from the treatment I reckon) that I know it will be a mistake to try to do both. Ironically, if I stay home I can get more writing done. husband's rabies shots - he got bitten by a bat on Monday night (a young flying fox, a large Aussie fruit bat, they're really quite pretty things about the size of a cat). The bat bit husband through heavy leather gloves when he tried to rescue it after it was zapped by our power lines. The trouble is, about 15 years ago it was discovered that Aussie bats carry a number of rare but very nasty viruses. In the same way cowpox and smallpox are similar as far as the immune system is concerned, rabies and lyssavirus are also similar. But lyssavirus is just as lethal as rabies, only with a longer incubation period (up to several years). It's so serious, it's a notifiable situation when someone is bitten by a bat, any bat, even if the bat seems healthy. husband is getting all the shots which ironically now means he will be able to handle bats safely from here on. mother in law was very upset about it, we had downplayed things and not told her of husband's bite and the problems because her anxiety these days is out of control. But the rescue lady told mother in law, and it's taken us days to calm her down. We just got back from mother in law's place for dinner and we stayed to watch a Miss Marple drama. I slept through most of it, I am so tired I had trouble walking home. So it's off to bed! Hopefully with plenty of sleep I'll be more creative tomorrow. I've just got to send an email giving my apologies for tomorrow. *yawn* Marg [/QUOTE]
