I started to look up my old thread I posted last time I said hello, but decided to start a new one...LOL. I wanted to say hello to all my buddies and let everyone know texan and I are doing fine, except for the spider bite I got last night while bagging leaves for my Mom.....OUCH! As far as I know it was a Brown Recluse. Thirty minutes afterwards it swelled to the size of an egg, then this morning it was as big as a grapefruit. When it bit me it was intense pain and it hurts to touch the area. I've putting a paste of water and asprin on it, and keeping an ice bag on it too. I'm not sure if I should see a doctor or not, however, if the pain gets worse I will. Has anyone here suffered a bit by one of these? If so, what did you do for it? I appreaciate any input on this. Hope everyone is doing good. Texan and I have been busy working until I decided to take a vacation and be with my family awhile. I've really enjoyed being home, except for the hot weather. I sure wish it would rain...LOL. It's extremely hot and dry here. Wow, I may be stuck here if gas prices keep rising. Just my luck.....! Anyway, I think about everyone often and miss you guys. Hope to hear from you. Oh yes, I read that OMEGA is still in operation, or is it? Anyway, lots of hugs. So long for now.............xxx000xxx

Hi DaRu!
Heard a lot about you even though I don't know you...
A guy I work with got bitten by one of those, you should definitely see a doctor since what Della says is true, they could have to take the flesh out if it gets too bad. I wouldn't wait if I were you.
Hope everything goes ok for you :)

DaRu -- I have not had a recluse bite, however, I know two people who have. Both had to be hospitalized because they did not go to the doctor right away. Not trying to scare you, but, I wanted to let you know all I know. (On the positive side, they both lived, they were just really sick.)

Hi DaRa!!! I hope you are feeling better. I know how bad a spider bite can be, especially from those. And yes, you should go to the doctor. For, as said before, they can be dangerous.

Sorry fior the delay......and thanks everyone for the advice. Well, I finally got over the bite, in fact the scab finally fell off today, and it's looking good. Apparently it wasn't a brown recluse, according to what everyone has shared here, but I know it was a spider. I suffered with it for quite awhile, as you know since only today. I guess I should have went to the doctor, and would have if things got worse. Anyway, it didn't get to the point I felt it was necessary, thank heavens...LOL. I really appreciate all the comments, and responses from everyone. I would have stayed on longer to check any replies, however, I was knocked off due to the peak hours since I'm not subscribed. Hey, when I get back to San Antonio, I'm planning on playing again, if things slows down, I hope!. Right now I don't have my computer with me, so I'm using my Sister's, which is rarely vacant ...hehe, oh well! I'm so thrilled to hear Omega's still in business. It was great hearing from some of you that are running Omega and I'm proud to know it's doing great. I hope OMEGA reaches No. 1......GO OMEGA GO!!!! Thanks to all my buddies for replying, I sure miss you all too. God bless.
