Just came by to see how you were. Sorry it sucks. I got lucky last year, & didn't get bit. Scared the shit right out of me.

So when do we get to see the foot rot, Coma? I want to incorporate oozing spider bites into my portfolio of zombie design ideas.

OMG! I finally looked at the picture of the spider bite, and that’s exactly what it looked like. Same place, big red mark. Except by Day 5, it that entire area had started to fill up so it looked like I had third leg trying to grow out of my upper thigh.

I highly doubt yours will get that bad.

ugh… you are living one of my worst fears (other than serial killers and alien abductions), but thanks for sharing what one of those bites looks like. I bruise so easily and I probably would have no idea what that was…

Perhaps you didn’t freak out b/c you didn’t see the spider. That would probably make all the difference for me.

And any chance one gets to sit on ones rear and rest is always a good thing, spider bite or no spider bite.

I wish I’d had a tape recorder with me yesterday morning to capture what Linda said before you went to the doctor. Remember? You said something like, “Get over here and look at this, Linda. You’re a mom,” and were sorta fishing for a motherly type of comment and Linda just took one quick look and said, “Yuck!” That’s classic.
Hope you’re starting to feel better now.

No, that’s not your soul. That the spider poison traveling through your veins and rotting your tendons and muscles from the inside out.
Then again, it could be your soul.

I hope to be far away from Hooterville by next summer.
I’m just saying. My soul is being eaten from the inside out.

It could have been much worse, Boss Lady. I think you would have felt worse if they had stuck you on the steroids like the doc did with me.

Keep your foot propped up and your butt in front of the television and it’ll start to feel better in a couple of days. Get Badger to draw you a “Get Well Soon” card with a spider on it, and you’ll feel right as rain.

I’m just wondering who it’s going to be next summer.
