apologies

Sorry I haven't been around this week. I've been recovering from a spider bite. Had to go to the hospital when it started to spread. They gave me some antibiotics and I'm starting to feel better.

I hope to be back to normal in a day or two.

Helluva deal. I've known people who had been bit by black widows, and they were pretty sick for a while.

I'm so sorry to hear that happened, but VERY glad you're on the mend.

Please take care, though, Hammer, as sometimes a secondary respiratory infection will set in after a spider bite---important to finish all the anitbiotics, even if you're feeling better.

God Bless!

Take care.

CURE FOR SPIDER BITES:

a few years ago, my husband was bit by what may have been a brown recluse on his wrist - it at first festered up like a boil and was painful - he took a black walnut still in its shell and hull - sawed it in half - put the fleshy side to the bite - ducttaped it to his arm and wore it that way for a couple of days.

when he took the tape, walnut and all the hair on that part of his arm - it was as though he hadn't been bitten AT ALL - all that was there was the deep green to black walnut stain. no scar, no marks.

amazing.

Sorry to hear that you had such a nasty reaction to the bite. It wasn't a brown recluse was it? If it was, then I'm afraid that you've been visited by Sumdood's good friend.

Holy crap - I hate hearing that news. Incidentally, Ambulance Driver has a spider bite post up this week.
Gosh, so, we want a full report, including pictures if possible, when you feel up to it. :)

Those things are terrible, but I'm glad you're on the mend.
