Spider Bite

I remember when I was about 8 years old I got a spot behind my knee that kinda looked (and felt) like a mosquito bite. IT ITCHED SOOOO BAD!!! But it also really hurt to touch it. Weeeelll....I told my mom about it, and she told me not to touch it. Of course, it itched so i wasn't NOT going to scratch it! *Sigh*. That was a REALLY stupid choice :)

In a matter of days I was SUPER sick, and the "mosquito" bite on my leg? A black spot the size of a cantaloupe. Thank you Mr. Fiddle back.

ahhh....wow. Well, after going to the doctor, I found out that not only was it a spider bite, but it was an INFECTED spider bite. Nice going Jordan ;)

So what did I learn from all of this? Listen to what your parents say, it sometimes can be pretty darn helpful (and can keep you from having to amputate your leg). I'm pretty sure I learned my lesson....I had to take pills the size of my pinkie(SIIIIICK!!!) and I left for church camp sick as a dog. Good thing I didn't barf, the people on the bus prob. wouldn't appreciate that much ;)

OH! OK...my dad reminded me of a part of the story i left out :) sooo here we go!

When I was a little younger, I had some sort of infection in my left hip. Weird, I know...but still! Well, I ended up having to take these pills and the insurance covered it and all that jazz. Well, for some reason, our insurance would no longer cover my left leg. So my whole body is insured EXCEPT for my left leg. I mean seriously?! So if I break a leg, it CAN'T be the left one...lol. Well, the spider bite was on the right leg, but they said it was on the left. You can only imagine what happened THEN.....lol
