Spider bite update

I went to the ER this morning, waited for a few hours, and saw a super nice doctor who cut open the bite and drained it out. He said it's a good thing that i came in, and that the wound should heal up just fine. He said there is no way to know what kind of spider bite it was without having actually caught the spider. I was in a lot of pain this afternoon after the anesthetic wore off, but I'm feeling ok now. I bet I'll feel a lot better in the morning! Thanks for your prayers and concern guys :)

Sleep well, Kristin. Still praying for you here. So glad that you're feeling better. Would appreciate prayer for my class at Vineyard Fri nite and Saturday. Grandpa says hi.

Glad to hear that you got that taken care of! Spider's can be pretty scary, especially down there where it's hot and you have all those weird bugs. I got one on my face in my sleep once and it swelled up like mad overnight and I could barely see out of one eye, had a wicked fever, was puking my guts up, and was nearly passing out...Def. not a fun day... Did he give you an antibiotic at all? Hope you're feeling better soon! At least you won't have any noticeable scars, haha :)
