Note
I think my knee brace did double duty today and saved me from a much worse dog bite than I ended up with. It all happened so fast that I'm not sure what did actually happen, but the dog was on a leash, the woman still couldn't control it, and I have a bite - a puncture wound - on my calf right below the bottom of where the brace goes.
Luckily Sandy was home and came over and cleaned it up and settled me down. I was pretty rattled.
