spiders bite!!!

No really they do. Somehow I managed to get a spider bite (or at least they think that is what it is) sometime during the night Saturday night. After going to the doctor two days in a row, missing 4 days of work, and 2 days of class, being pumped full of 2000 mg of antibiotics a day (that is a lot of antibiotics everyday) steriods, topical creams, pain killers, and some other pill.... It is finally getting somewhat better.

I was bitten right in the crevice of where my arm turns into arm pitt. I have a large golf ball sized knott beneath my arm, making it painful to have my arm in a natural position (to my side) or type, or write. They think that the poison/ infection may be in my blood stream as I have residual pain and swelling in my entire arm. The swelling is not so bad, but I cannot get my rings on, and my joints (fingers, wrist and elbow) seem really stiff and painful. It was a fire red color, but that has gone away.

I just wanted to let yall know why I seem to have fallen of the face of the earth this week. I have usually updated and commented at least twice by now...

Oh we also switched internet services, soooooo during the couple of days that I was home, I had no internet, not that I really felt like typing anyhow, as that requires my arm be pressed to my side, and the use of my swollen knuckles.

Think I shall stop typing now...

Thought for the day: See there really is reason to fear spiders. no just kidding...

I do thank God I am alive, sorry if this post seems rather blah, but I feel rather blah right now.

Factoid: types of damage from a spider bite: The severity of the bite may vary. The symptoms may vary from no harm at all to a reaction that is very severe. Often there is a systemic reaction within 24-36 hours characterized by restlessness, fever, chills, nausea, weakness, and joint pain. Where the bite occurs there is often tissue death and skin is sloughed off. In some severe cases, a wound may develop that lasts several months.

Hmmmm, this explains why my joints in that arm hurt.... should have looked that up monday, oh wait I did not have internet.

espanol: spider: arana (with an ~ over the n) bite = mordedura spider bite = mordedura de araƱa

a proper update with pictures from the hoggetowne fair to come I assure you.

That's awful. I read before you don't like spiders particularly so now I'm guessing your dislike has increased. I don't like them either, they scare me. Even though my name is 'Cinnamon Spider' that's just from a song I like lolz. But really that sounds really terrible, I hope your arm gets better soon!! *hugs*

Oh no!! I actually got bitten on the arm pit too! A few years ago, by a spider called a huntsman, they are harmless though.
I hope you get better fast, poor spritey *hugs*
