I hate my leg
Tuesday: see previous post
Wednesday: nothing
Thursday: birthday. 4PM doctor visit. packing removed, leg drained, repacked. OUCH!
Friday (today) 10AM: doctor visit. packing removed, leg drained, doctor takes phone call. Possible brown recluse spider bite, schedule appointment with surgeon, wound repacked.
1:00PM: research brown recluse spider bites. Symptoms check. Pictures - exact match.
4:30PM: surgeon visit, not a spider bite (just one opinion though)
End result is its either an abcess with a wicked staph infection or a brown recluse spider bite.
Worst part about all this, they keep taping the gause down, and my leg is KILLING me from tearing the tape off to change the bandage. I have no hair left. The area is bruised. Its miserable.
They say this could take weeks to completely heal
