The next morning, my finger was swollen and painful. I decided to go to work and thought that I would go to a doctor if it got any worse. Well, toward the end of the shift, a coworker asked me if the red line going up my arm was new. I hadn't noticed it before, but when I saw it, I said "Maybe I should go to the doctor now."
When I got to the doctor's, they looked at the red line which now extended from my finger all the way up my arm and stopped just as it got to my chest. They said they needed to get some antibiotics in my system right away. What followed was several extremely painful shots in my stern and a prescription for some antibiotic pills.
I estimate that she was about a month to a month and a half old at the time. But she had been a stray - and who knows what she had been eating. Anyway, I'm pretty sure the picture above was posted before and is just some random picture from the internet. Here's a picture of Maggie the day she showed up here:

I was under the impression the kitten in Rockstars post was a pet.
I hope all is/was well Sean, the red line would have had me in panic mode!!
