Doc says I should be okay. He'll be watching me for the next few days. Apparrantly these bites can do a lot of damage to the surrounding tissue. I have the most wonderful Christian doctor. He called me back less than 2 minutes after I paged him. I'm taking steroids and antibiotics and adrenaline.
I won't tell you exactly where the bites are but apparrantly I sat down on more than one on my porch swing this morning. I didn't notice them until around 12:30 but didn't panic. I've had spider bites before and, being a country girl, am kind of used to them. But boy, this one really started to hurt! I called doc and he gave me instructions to run if I developed a fever and/or chills. I suppose you can tell that I did! Needless to say, I won't be sitting at the computer much this evening. Boy, that spider's bite is really painful!
Thanks again for your prayers. I'll check in before bed in case anyone needs anything. Looks like I'll be sleeping on my stomach tonight! LOL
