They like to get you in your sleep. {{{shiver}}}Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00497038751410358786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6683024005856756512.post-21508997381042285292009-07-14T14:43:59.124-04:002009-07-14T14:43:59.124-04:00Okay....call me stupid.

I think you called it a brown widow the other day. Is that same/different than a brown recluse? I know the latter are very dangerous. My hubby knows a lot about bugs and animals and eracnids (sp?!) so he'd probably laugh at my questions! So sorry you got bit by that and having to go through everything. I did LOL about you promptly falling asleep as soon as the movie started. That's me normally, not even after bad nights of sleep, long day at the ER, and antibiotics being pumped into me. Sure hope you're feeling better. And....here's the "little sister" in me coming out...if doc said "rest", PLEASE DO!!! I know you have lots of packing but it will come in due time.<br /><br />I'll be sure to stop by later and see if you remember what you were going to tell me. :o)<br /><br />Feel better.

It was so horrific looking that she showed her Dad and refused to let me see the bite. After lots of skin grafts and physical therapy she is OK..but that scar will never go away. :0)<br />Glad Paul is OK..spiders are pretty dangerous boogers.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00497038751410358786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6683024005856756512.post-71910683191273239492009-07-14T14:31:31.001-04:002009-07-14T14:31:31.001-04:00Kim, be very careful with that bite.

Really helped Paul, along with the antibiotics...and orders to "do nothing". <br /><br />Love the mailbox! <br /><br />DebbieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
