Agggggggggh. I've been dealing with a Yellow Sac Spider bite the past few days, and today, while removing the bandage the doctor told me to cover it with, I managed to remove the pus sack with it, revealing a hole in my leg. Just thinking about it makes me feel light headed.

I'm so glad I just read that right after having finished lunch. Thanks for that.

I guess if we have to look at the positive side of that disturbing image, then yes, at least it wasn't during lunch.

I've got pics of the early stages, but none of the actual hole. I couldn't look at it long enough to snap a picture. It was so horrendously gross. Just thinking about it makes my skin crawl.

Thank you. At no point do you need to work up the courage to take a picture of that. We won't be disappointed.

I did manage to snap one this morning at the insistence of my doctor.

I won't post it directly, but if you're feeling like a good "UGGGHHHH", I'll post the link.

Looks bad mate ...

Have you considered surgery to get rid of all the dead cells ?

My doctor has advised against surgical intervention. I thought about it, but he said it would do more harm than good on such a small bite. (I guess the fact that I didn't lose a leg means it's small.)

Hi all :). I'm Joffal.

I didn't spy an introductions board so thought I'd post in here. I take it the image verification will go away at some point?

I'm the proud owner of a blackbook and just persuaded my dad to buy an iMac!

I plugged my iPad into my external computer speakers for a bit. Then next time I came back to use my iPad, my iPad would not come on whatsoever. All the fun moments I shared with it, flashed in my head as I cradled it.

I ended up doing a reset, and it came to. So relieved. Kinda scary...

Glad to hear that your iPad is up and running again iWhat. That would've scared the crap out of me too.
