Dog bites man...Man is not happy

So I made myself go for a walk this evening because I hadn't done it for several days. I have been doing pretty well otherwise. I'm walking for nearly twice as long as when I started and at a much quicker pace. It's definitely getting easier.

Anyways, as I was headed back towards my house I was trucking along minding my own business and out of nowhere, I got bit by a freakin' dog! I wasn't sure I was going to say anything about it here, but I couldn't help myself. The older teenaged kid didn't have control of his dog, a large terrier like an airedale, and it lunged at me as I walked by and it bit me on the arm. There was a puncture and blood. I stood there for a couple of minutes cussing and not really knowing what I should do. I asked him where he lived and I said let's go there. We went back to the kid's house and I washed my arm and got names and info from his mother. What a stupid pain in the ass. Or arm. I don't plan to do anything unless I need to go to a doctor or something. They were apologetic and promised to pay for any medical bills that I might incur. I'm pretty sure that I should have done something different, but I'm not sure what exactly. This has never happened to me before. I hope it's fine. I don't want to have to deal with hospitals and insurance that I don't have. I'm likely to get screwed over in some way.

Happy Friday the 13th!
