I probably have rabies

I am a big fan of self-diagnosis. A the first sign of any symptom I am all over the internet trying to figure out what is wrong with me. A few months ago I had gastritis (like legitimately diagnosed as such by a medical professional.), so when months later other symptoms arrised I naturally tried to find a way to link it to that via the Internet.

Allergy season came and went and while everyone was complaining about how bad they were this year, I insisted I actually  had chronic esophagitis. One day in there I was sure it was actually lung cancer.

I play roller derby and I get bruised quite a bit. One day my skates were not fitting quite right and I was wearing really thin socks which caused rubbing on my ankle that bruised really bad. Diabetes. Knee pain from practice - osteoarthritis.

Which brings me to rabies. I was bit by a freaking dog the the other day. And the owner was a complete asshat about it.  I was walking down he sidewalk and there was a lady walking her small dog ahead of me going very slowly. I moved to pass them on the right when the dog growelled and jumped out, biting my leg. I screamed ouch and jumped away. The lady kept walking. I'm like "excuse me!!! Your dog just BIT me!".  The lady told me I shouldn't have snuck up on them and then calmly walked away.  I was stunned. How do you just walk away from a situation like hat without taking ANY responsibility? So to that lady I just want to say a big FUCK YOU.  I reported it to public health, but without a name they can't do much. I don't wish anything bad to happen to the dog. I just want a safe city for all people and animals. What if the dog bites a kid?  I was lucky, it didn't break the skin, just left a big bruise and a lot of anger.
