Friend of Mine Bitten by A Brown Recluse Spider
First post, hope you enjoy. A friend of mine was bitten by a brown recluse spider a few months back. She didn't feel it happen because of some extensive foot problems she's had over the years (the joints in her toes are fake, her nerves are fucked, broken bones, etc etc). A few days after the bite, she complained of some foot pain, and then all this happened... Here is her journey, provided with my color commentary. Crap, I don't think that's a bruise. Better go to the doctor.  FUCK! It's a brown recluse bite. Dammit. The doctors circled the bite with a sharpie, just in case they forgot where it was...  Swelling... Off to surgery!  After surgery. Fuck, this hurts.  Maybe I shouldn't have blown my nose in my wound. I was out of tissues! Oh, wait. It's just infected. That's much, much worse.  Stitches taken out early from the infection and on the way to the wound clinic...Oh yeah!!  Wound clinic thinks, "Yup, we better clean this sucker out. Hopefully we won't have to do a skin graft..."  "You think we removed too much?"  Red buds of skin growing. This tastes JUST as good as a pepperoni.  Red buds continuing to grow. Things are looking good, even though it FUCKING hurts.  Soft cast for a week. Doctor thinks a skin graft will probably need to happen... Turd.  Chillin' at home with the soft case.  Woohoo! GREAT skin growth, cauterized half the wound and another soft cast for the week.  Still healing great... Still fucking hurts...  Doctor is super pleased at the significant healing. Another round of soft casting but the wound is getting smaller and smaller. NO SKIN GRAFT!  HEAL MOTHER FUCKER. I wish I could say I was French, but no. It's hard shaving your legs when it's casted for so many weeks....  WOO HOO! Fuck you spider!  A wicked tan line from weeks of hell.  |
