Bug on me

Wednesday, 18 June, 2008

I thought I had one heck of a bruise, until the pharmacist at work saw it and said, “That looks like a spider bite.   I have friends who’ve had bites like that and their skin dies and they need a skin graft.   You should see your doctor.”

Ok, then.

On the way to my appointment, it did occur to me that I did actually see a spider last week while I was moving things from the basement, but thought nothing of it.

She said it was most probably a bug bite because I have other bruises and they are not fluid filled and the skin is not almost-numb.

I knew there’s a reason I’m terrified of spiders.  

I’m on antibiotics.   

I think I’ll live.   :)

    Lisa,

    Bear in mind that Fletch’s life revolves around Homer, Marge, Bart and Lisa.

    It looks awful and sore and swollen… on the plus side you could mix and match your clothes with the pretty colours of the bruise. :o )

    Did you ever sing the children’s song…..

    ‘Incy, wincy spider, climbed up the spout…
    Down came the rain and washed the spider out.
    Out came the sunchine, dried up all the rain…
    Incy wincy spider climbed the spout again’

    Maybe you should have a competition for the best next four lines!

    Are you suffering from fever, weakness, anorexia, conjunctivitises…? Maybe even D&V? Purple discolouration of abdominal skin, necrosis of the tips of your extremities (your earls or tail?)….

    What? Just making sure it ain’t Swine Fever babe…

    That photo terrified me. We hospitalize people with stuff like that. I hope that it has resolved.

    My hand is looking much better now! And I did not have to go to the hospital. :) xxx
