Not a good weekend!
On friday I had a jumping lesson booked so half and hour before hand went to put some lidnocane in Hovis' mouth to numb the gum where his tooth is coming through. I had thought all three fingers were safely in the bridge of his teeth..... until he shut his mouth...........
OMG I have never known anything HURT so much. He'd shut his jaw on the ring finger of my right hand. I couldn't get him to open his jaw (I don't think he knew what he'd done) so caused even more damage ripping my finger out of his mouth. There was blood everywhere and for the first time in years I nearly fainted.
Cue trip on sat to A&E (I refused to go on friday night), xrays, tetnus jab and a course of huge antibiotics. He's mangled the top part of my ring finger including the nail.
OUCH!!
On a plus note Hovis jumped brilliantly for my instructor so maybe he's got a taste for blood!!
