I'll let you know if I have super strength tomorrow...

I went to the doctor today because I put on my shoe and then my toe hurt, and then, when I took off my shoe, there was a big red unhappy bump on it with two little holes (that apparently only I can see), and my toe was swollen.
I showed the doctor and he tried to convince me it was just a tiny thorn that had attacked my foot and NOT a giant black widow and that I most likely would not be losing the toe.
"If it was a black widow bite, it would get a big red unhappy bump, and your toe would swell, and it would feel tingly, or numb, or weird," he said to reassure me.
"But it does feel tingly, and numb, and weird!" I exclaimed, which he totally ignored.

So my prognosis is (paraphrasing) "*shrug* Soak it to draw out 'whatever is in there' and come back if gross stuff starts coming out of it."
I know he was talking about pus but all I can think of is the urban legends concerning baby spiders.





p.s. It would probably help you to know that there are actually black widows in my house. So it is not just me being completely neurotic, only partially.

  4. Yeah! WTF? They're in your HOUSE? Whyyyyyy?! Why has no one called an exterminator? Or is that a stupid question? OMG! I wouldn't be able to sleep knowing there were deadly poisonous spiders in my house. *shudder*

    Yeah, your blarg's banner at the top of the page. It used to have a goat on the left-hand side. Now it does not.

  5. It's a llama, and it is still there on my page... Maybe it just wanders away every once in a while when I am not watching it.

  7. Y'know, I haven't even SEEN Terminator, I just got the gist that he's a robot that blows things up.
