Introducing our Eccentric Dramatic Person within our System. This episode features the live reactions after we were bitten by the infamous Rat Mouse.
Feel free to laugh yourself silly, as they record trying to process they go and experience many emotions only minutes after the bite.
Cuss words have been editors out of the recording, however there may be a few “Damn,” “Darn it” and lots of “Oh my Gosh.” We also taken out name calling, as we are trying to promote kind self talk.
The conclusion? See below after the images.
Images are added with the recording time for reference as you listen.

This was not the rodent that but us but at the time they had concluded it was.
Conclusion
We took ourself off to the Emergency Department where we were triaged and only had to wait two and a half hours to see the doctor (that is short in comparison with the average wait where I live).
The doctor said, “Bitten by a rat I hear? How’d you manage that?” A very embarrassed me told the short version of the story.
With a “You’ll be right,” and “Of course you can travel overseas.” He gave me a course of Penicillin and a booster shot that combined Tetanus, Diphtheria and Pertussis.
Thank you Australian Health System for free medical treatment.

It’s several days later, the bite mark hurts a little bit and my body feels a rather unwell.
However as my body is filled with antibiotics, vaccines and rat bacteria that’s bound to happen.
Our Eccentric Dramatic Person is detoxing with multiple health substances and freshly juiced vegetables so we should bounce back in no time.
Tune in for the next unusual event and as our sister says, “You can’t make this stuff up.”
Thank you for coming to Unpretending’s Substack.
We hope you have a wonderful day 😊
