[Re ] Did I get Tetanus Shot?

[Guest guest]

Help Help!

Does anybody remember how back in 2002, I broke my toe five minutes before my

dinner guests were to arrive. I spent Christmas Eve in the ER while the

dinner went on at my house without me.

I THINK they gave me a tetanus shot... I think I recall being perplexed why.

In hindsight, if they did, it was because they felt I needed to stay boosted

because I was obviously accident-prone!! Does anybody remember me talking about

getting the shot?????

Last night I cut my toe on an old metal bedframe in the garage. It is dusty

and dirty and slightly rusty. The cut is not deep at all, more of a flap of

skin but it bled quite a bit and is oozing today. I washed it within a minute

and

then poured 1/4 bottle of peroxide on it, followed by Bactroban.

Today is my birthday and I REALLY don't want to drive 25 miles to my doc

during thunderstorms for a painful tetanus shot!! If I knew I got one for sure

only two years ago, I'm covered!

I called my current doc, previous doc, insurance company and hospital trying

to look at the records, nobody has a copy. I have misplaced mine. I even

checked old e-mail messages to see if I mentioned it to anybody. Sigh. Any

thoughts?
