So, I'm walking with my girlfriend. We are just about finishing a 3 mile walk - if felt GREAT! (11 weeks post op). We are walking past a guy with two basset hounds, on leashes. For some reason they attack us - and don't I get bitten on my 'surgical' leg! Holy Crap! I've been feeling awesome, enjoying getting back into the exercise routine. Go for a simple walk and end up in urgent care with 3 puncture wounds on my lower leg and a nice scrape and bruise on my left buttock. I am on antibiotics and I have reported it to Monroe County Dept of Health, I checked with my surgeon to make sure I don't need to do anything else, and the guy said he would pay my medical bills.
Just a reminder to give dogs a wide berth when you are walking or running. They are completely unpredictable. It hurts like heck and today was a good walking day up here in Rochester, NY
