    Default pray for my leg... :(

    so i was kinda bitten by a brown recluse spider.

    twice.

    in the same leg.

    once on the knee and once on the thigh.

    so far things are looking like it could be okay, since it has been about a week and the bites have not ulcerated or undergone necrosis just yet. though they have spread and each one is huuuuge right now. like a few inches across. if i am really lucky i will make it through without any serious scarification, but according to the doctor if the one on my knee goes really bad it could end up mandating amputation from the knee down. cause it would mess up my knee that bad or something.

    which would really ... really ... really suck.

    the doctor is -totally- optimistic though based on how the bites look right now but happy thoughts would still be way appreciated. especially since walking like a normal person is kind of difficult right now.

    i swear i have had the worst luck lately.

    How awful! My mom got bitten by one of those fucking spiders, she had a tough time with it, but she was old and weak. You being young and strong will help you recover.

    Good luck with it, it sounds like you are doing well, sending healing thoughts your way...

    i was in texas and it may have been the same spider for all we know.

    i was staying at this ranch for sideshow folk down in texas and they had me sleeping in a horse trailer that had been converted to a sleeping space for humans. lots of wood and darkness and everything those spiders love. my clothes were piled up on the floor and it may have gotten in my pants. i did not notice it right away which i am told is normal. i know i shook one out of my towel one day after using the shower in the garage.

    so there is no technical confirmation because we do not have the spider. but the bites look identical to recluse bites (blistered in the middle while big red and solid everywhere else) and there were definitely recluse spiders all over the place. and sure, i will post a picture of the one on my knee once i have showered and taken my meds.

    Oh Rebecca! I hope hope hope you will be ok. Lots of people get bitten and don't lose limbs, and hopefully you will be one of the lucky ones. It is good that you are seeing a doctor already, maybe he can help.

    believe it or not, this actually looks good for a recluse bite. and the area of the bite actually extends about two inches outside of that whole red area. it is just not discolored yet, but is definitely getting there. you also cannot see the little holes that are inside the blistered center part.

    Click on this to see the wound... it is a little gross...

    OMG...you poor dear!

    I live in Texas and "got lucky" a couple of years ago when I was bitten...PLEASE stay on top of this,that looks SO sore and I'm sad this happened to you.

    Unless you live in areas where the recluse if,people don't realize how AWFUL these bites can be.

    Crossing fingers that it will get no worse for you and that it will begin to heal asap!!!

    Oh honey!! You will be just fine don't you worry, take your antibiotics (the whole dose!) and keep an eye on it... if the infection spreads or a "line" starts going up your leg (it would look like a red line) go to the ER.

    Dude, I got bit by a brown recluse in Miami.... ON MY ASS. My boyfriend noticed it, but it got way worse after I went back to Vegas. It looked just like yours, it was huge and oozing pus. I had to have it drained (ugh) and the worst part was that I went to a teaching hospital!! So there I was ass up in the air over some cushion things while everyone is watching my ass get lanced! So humiliating!

    On a positive note, it didn't scar permanantly but there was a red ring on my ass for about six months...ugh.

    I'm so, so scared of those fuckin' things! The fernance for my condo is in a crawl space under my unit and I refuse to go down there just because I'm terrified I'll run into a brown recluse.

    I'm sending good joujou your way, Rebecca... I hope you have a full and speedy recovery.

    Eeeeew!

    It is totally starting to turn black in one corner. GROSS!

    (although some part of me loves sharing gross and grody stuff with people)

    and apprently photobucket considers pictures of such bites to be a violation of their TOS or something. weird. but yeah, you cann tooootally see where it is starting to turn black. that is apparently the dead rotting stuff.

    *whiiiiiiines*

    it is also a lot more difficult to walk now. like i cannot bend my knee very much at all and i have to keep it stretched out in front of me if i sit down and all that. totally totally obnoxious. BUT! but it is not spreading anymore, which is good, though there is an intense bruising pain running up along my inner thigh between the bite on my knee and the bite on the outside of my thigh. which is unpleasant. but there are no -new- discolored areas so that is totally good.

    truth be told i am more annoyed that it is preventing me from working now that i am back in colorado. gross wounds are one thing, but financial issues are another thing entirely. especially since i just had to shell out cash to the hospital and all of that crap. i have two clients who want to see me but i am in no condition to provide, and yet i could really use the cash to at least cover the medical expense. that is the real kick in the pants with this whole thing.
