Xena, I had a brown recluse bite on my ankle a couple of years ago. It seemed to 'deaden' the skin around the bite area for a short while, making it a dark brown. Couldn't feel anything. After using the antibiotics for several days, it began improving. Just stay on the antibiotics as long as the doctor says.
I had been moving some firewood from one place to another. Now I am extra careful when working around wood piles. I hope you improve quickly.

Gosh Xena, goodluck with the bite. I'm glad you saw a doctor.
I go walking in the woods around here sometimes and will walk into a web every once in a while. I feel it before I see it. I then look for the spider and make sure I knock it off before it gets down my shirt.
Never fails to give me the creeps!!

Geesh! Xena, would you please lock yourself in a bubble? It's bad enough you have your wrists in splints, but now a spider bite? What's next?!? At least it didn't crawl under your splints and munch away. Please get better.

Hey Xena, All this that's happening is the storm before the calm. Good things are about to come, hang in there. |

BVC---that clip did bring a smile to my face thanks for the pm too re: the anti-venom thing. way cool. you know, i'm so blessed to have friends and band guys like I do---I've been receiving all kinds of little gifts over the past few days--yesterday my guitarist bought me an Iron Maiden concert dvd and my singer has been cooking dinner for me a whole bunch, since the whole carpal tunnel thing started. Yesterday my friend sent me 3 pizzas. Tonight I'm going to return the favor and take them all out to dinner---we have such good Mexican food in Texas!!! Yum!!! looney---storm before the calm---thats a good one --thanks hon. thanks yall!! |
