It's a small world.
No sooner had Joe put up the photo of his spider bite, than I copped one whilst pulling grass out between the raspberry canes.
It looked like nothing at first, but was painful.
In a couple of hours, my hand was fat and red, and I couldn't bend my fingers or thumb.
Next morning, there was an added purple diamond and a few odd lumps.
By 1am the pain woke me, and the thumb looked nearly black.
Local hospital redirected us to Ballarat Base.
After 3 days of intravenous antibacterial, a friend brought Mrs A in to visit.....
He insisted on a close up of the injury, which I share below:
A local man suggests it was a Wolf Spider.
Still not very happy chappy, on penicillin for ten days, sleeping a lot.
You gotta laugh at life.
, you just had to out do me.!
