Message:: [QUOTE="Marsyas Mike, post: 8174879, member: 85693"]I am so sorry to hear about the difficulties you are suffering through [USER=105389]@bcuda[/USER]  And then your step mother's death and your wife's stroke - sometimes life just seems to hand us too much, and I am sorry you are going through this.  As for those awful ER situations, My dad spent 7 hours in the ER the day after Christmas with a bleeding kidney (he's undergoing cancer treatment now; this was "just" a side affect).  They finally admitted him, but in ER at least he had a cubicle and wasn't out in the hallway. Not at all to make light of the spider bite, but years ago a friend told me her brother had been bitten by a brown recluse spider.  I'd never heard of a brown recluse spider, and accused her of making it up (jokingly).  But it was no joke - it bit him on the derriere while he was on a creeper underneath his car!  He had to go to the hospital - fortunately being a young healthy guy he got over it pretty well, but it was an ordeal.  No amputations, fortunately - being bitten in such a "substantial" part of the body is probably better than bitten on an extremity the way you and [USER=51347]@Alegandron[/USER] were.  No more spider jokes from me.  Here is Salus on a sestertius of Antoninus Pius, wishing you and yours good heath!
