Wow, Miranda. I am glad you are well enough to post.
But please, please get your insurance involved. You are going to have significant medical costs, you are going to lose income (maybe your job, cuz who knows in this economy whether they'll hold it for you), and you may have lasting, permanent damage for which you deserve to be compensated. Not to mention if your face ends up with permanent scarring.
Seriously. I'm not the lawsuit type, but you are due some serious pain & suffering and loss of income $$$.
Watch out for the dog owner's insurance company trying to give you the bum's rush & sign your rights away to get just a dribble of money.
Heal well!!!!
