Glad to hear the good news. I was fearing the worst, that it could be a superbug that was caught on the late side. Well, hope he just takes all those nasty drugs and gets out of that bug-infested hospital as soon as possible.
Thanks
It had been a while, and 82 spider classes later we get the good news!
Thanks Mike and Lenny. Nice gesture Lenny bringing him some perfect comfort food!

You are totally not alone in that. I would have to think every single person clicking onto this thread thought he had lost a gambling session to Jeannette.
Scott is one of the cooler guys I have met in the pool scene, sucks to hear this. He should be ok though, black widow bites suck but they are rarely fatal to healthy adults.

Honestly Mike what Scott is experiencing with the Anti Biotic is what some would call normal, and Debrieding the Wound is also part of the process of strong the spreading of infection. I expect Scott will have a very long recovery before he is 100%.

Thanks for the update Mike. Scott can be hard to get a hold of when he is well, so no doubt it took some effort to fill us all in.
Thanks everyone with the updates. Scott, you've been in a lot of prayers this week and glad to hear your doing better.
A friend of mine in Texas had the same infection years ago and was in the hospital most of 3 months. It sounds like yours was caught earlier.
By the way, thanks Wilson or Mike for moving this thread back to the main area.

Get well soon Scott. you are in our prays. 2 years ago my kid had MRSA, rushed in the OR to have it cut out. All was fine with him, but it is very serious.
We have the Black Widow and Brown Recluse here in Valdosta, GA. which sucks for me because spiders are easily my biggest phobia. Yet I have a strange curiosity to learn about them and watch shows that make me curl up in a ball on the sofa! I know some people have already posted some spider info but I will tell you what I know. The Brown Recluse is a hunter and travels around. It does not build a web. They will find a nice cool place to hide like clothes that are hanging in a closet, or like someone else said, in bed sheets that maybe don't get used too much. These scare me the most because I have seen many photos of what can happen due to their bite. I had some pics I was gonna post but I can't find them anymore. Probly a good thing.
I used to have a Black Widow in a jar--- yeah I know it's a weird thing for an arachnaphobe to do! I would catch bugs and drop them in there. She was scary fast at tracking down things in her web. It was like my own little personal "discovery show". Then one day I found an eggsack in the jar......had to break out the bug spray. I forgot to take into consideration that there wasn't a male in there to fertilize the eggsack. I was NOT taking any chances though!
The Daddy Longlegs does have the most potent venom and they CAN bite you if given the perfect opportunity, (obviously small mouth) you would have to let one hang out on you for a long time. The problem is that they cannot inject enough of their venom in their tiny bite.
Sorry if I bored anyone!!
Hope Scott gets better!

Are you tryin' to FREAK us all out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
td
:grin: Sorry! Hey you don't think it freaks me out?! I will run from a spider the size of a pencil point!
i was bitten by a brown recluse when i was in kansas and the doctor told me the ones in midwest and the east are more potent than the ones in az idk why exactly something like the ones in az are a cousin and not as strong. mrsa is a staph infection that can turn deadly very quickly if not treated. not so much deadly in men of scotts age so he should be ok now that he is in hospital. there are two forms of mrsa. the kind you get just out and about in normal life and the kind you can get at a hospital. wikipedia has a lot of info on it i believe. my best wishes to scott in a speedy and full recovery http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methicillin-resistant_Staphylococcus_aureusfirehawk062 said:

I can fully relate to this.
Back on December 4th I woke up with a big sore on my little toe. The next day it was really ugly and I went to the doctor. They said it could be a spider bite or some type of infection. They cleaned it up and put me on anti-biotics and a week later it was gone.
At Christmas time, the wife and I went home to Arkansas and the dam thing festerd again, and we went straight to the doctor again. I have to be careful since I'm diabetic. The doctor repeated the routine and in 4 days it looked as if it were over. On Jan 12th bang, back again and this time my foot was twice it's size and the same with my calf muscles. This time they sent me straight to the hospitol and this time it was 4 days of antibiotics and on the 17th they ordered surgery and the last thing they said was that they were going to do everything in their power to save my foot. I near S*** mtself.
All they got was my little toe, but, I'm still on crutches and so thankful that it is all I lost. Life has looked differently to me every since this happened.
I wish Scott all the best and know just how scary this can be. Good luck.
