Clenching my teeth

So remember in my previous post i mentioned my jaw was tightening up? Guess who had to geet off to mediclinic last night? Yes, Helourine did - bitten by a black widow. SCARY! But she's alright now. I digress: me too!
The jaw she was a-tightening and the collar bone muscles they were a-tensing and my doctor friend advised me that tetanus is not a thing to be trifled with (mmmm... trifle!)
I had to go for an immunoglobular thingie! It was hectic. My bum is still burning!
Have no fear, fair blog readers... I shall live. But it was a little scary. Lockjaw for goodness sake!!!

I was bitten by a black widow spider when I was a baby, nearly got my leg chopped off, but my mom convinced them not to. I guess that little event explains a lot about why I am like I am. So now Helourine can be as cool as I am! Who's Helourine btw?

Helourine is Ilze's sister, silly billy!
