Notes about my Dog Bite Incident

October 6, 2017 6:52am 
I saw a post on Facebook about a boat for sale that looked like a good buy. Sent a message to see if still available. It was, so I made a trip out there to look at it.

Arrived at property of Danny Lowery. Did not see boat in front. 
Saw several dogs roaming the property and "Beware of Dog" sign. 
Door was open but nobody in sight. Waited a few minutes and then exited my vehicle.
Dogs were friendly and I petted them. A woman came to the door. I explained why I was there and she said to go around the corner
and that I would see Danny showing the boat to some others. I proceeded around the corner and as I approached the corner, a dog came out of nowhere 
and started viciously barking at the end of a chain tied to him. The woman started screaming at the dog and proceeded to come down to refrain him. 
I stood still not moving as she approached. Just before she got to the dog, something came loose with the chain and he was able to get to my location and proceeded
to bite my left ankle. I remained still while she tried to refrain the dog. He changed over to my right ankle and got a good bite on it before she could refrain him.
I briefly went to look at the boat and she came back with some medical supplies to try and bandage the wound. We cleaned it some and I left. As I departed, I briefly stopped to take a photo of the wound and sent it to my wife who is an Emergency Room Registered Nurse. I also sent it to my Sister in Denver who is a physician. My wife advised that they typically don't sew these kind of wounds and that we could bandage it and treat with some anti-biotics, but we needed to ask about Rabies Vaccine. I asked and Mr Lowery was trying to find out but never did give an answer other than he believed he did cause he gave it the shot the year before.

Went to the clinic and saw Dr. Bydalek because I did not like how it was healing. Dr. Bydalek referred me to wound care who began treating me twice a week.  I also went thru the Rabies Vacination Series. Danny Lowery said the owner was a relative named Marissa and her number was 601-215-4235. I could never get an answer or response from messages sent to that number. 

These are the facts as I could best recollect and detail at this time.
