Thread Name: BS: spider bite!!!
Subject: RE: BS: spider bite!!!
guess i need a GARFIELD CAT to protect me from spiders..SPLAT!!!
anyway,the thing that really bothers me is i dont remember being bitten by the spider...when i was awakened thursday morning,the bite was golf ball size and sore,really sore! thought i had a tumor or cist about to burst! the ER folks here assured mne it was not a tumor,etc...but probably a spider bite! so,ive been nursing it as the instructed...so far,its still sore and about half as big,but bothersome...no way to lay my head down without causing it some irritation! it also made my neck and left shoulder sore as heck,too!...man,the pain medication is worth taking...lol drift off into la,la land for at least an hour or so...but the anibioctics are staring to kick in too!
thanks everyone for your concerns,wishes,sense of humor and just being here...it helps a lot! bless you all!...tar
