Or at least a mongoose costume.
Halloween this year would be a snap.
"Dude, sick costume! Where'd you pick that up?"
"I made it to ward off snakes" |

Other than being a little more sore than usual, due to the way I slept, this thing is actually feeling better this morning. It is still visibly swollen, but it just "feels better" for lack of a professional medical description. The redness is less pronounced as well, so I am hoping these antibiotics are doing their job. And I have removed the bulk of the Sharpie, much to the chagrin of the majority of the COR.
Note: care packages of Hydros and beer are completely appropriate. PM for details! |

I heard a copperhead bite can only be cured by another bite |
hahaha |

Update: finished my round of antibiotics last night. I can walk with a single crutch now, though it is not very comfortable. I still can't put much weight on the foot, but it definitely looks and feels better.
Now:
Versus then:

| Man that has to suck. A freind that works for the geological survey walked upon a mountain lion that gave her a false charge and when she was backing down the hill stepped on a rattlesnake and got bit. Talk about a ty day. |

that, man! That sounds like one of those jobs that would be a great way to get out and see the world and not have to ride a desk all day. Then something like that happens. Pass! |

Step one: Go out and find that bastard copperhead and bite him back! See much he likes that!
Step two:
Step three: Profit! |

lol, though I enjoy the idea of "profit!" I don't blame the snake in this case. It was just doing what snakes do. I'm the idiot that: went out late...in flip flops...with no light...in an area known to have snakes. So, really, I was lazy, and I accept full responsibility.
In other news, I can hobble along without crutches, even if somewhat slowly. :toothless |

Why did it take you 3 hours to seek medical attention?
You were bitten by a snake!
I'd be on the phone to the ambo's straight away. :nervous: |

I'm not sure where I gave the impression that it took 3 hours. I was bitten around 8:15PM to 8:20PM, and I was at the ER by 8:40PM. I'll have to go back and see if I mistyped something somewhere. |
