Impish Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 No need to call the Mounties, I'm ok! Sorry I didn't post last night, but it was a gong show. I didn't get out of the ER until after 7 pm...talking 6 hrs there. UGH. Dr says it's not a tick bite. By the time I was seen the rash had more than tripled in size. He said tick bites don't do that. He doesn't know WHAT bite it was, other than a) I was allergic to whatever and b) it was now infected. So, on antibiotics and benadryl. Rx strength benadryl. Which is why I didn't come in last night, I crashed, hard. Thanks for thinking of me! :grouphug: Oh, and Diva was home, so puppy was tended to :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnitWit Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 :grouphug::grouphug: I'm so glad you went in! And it's so good to hear from you. I was getting concerned! I cannot believe you didn't think to report back here in your drug-induced state! ;) I will be praying for a complete and quick recovery and no complications. SOOOOO glad you went in yesterday!! :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nestof3 Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 I missed this. I hope the infection clears up. I wonder if it could have been a spider? Keep an eye on it (I'm sure you will), and get better fast! :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to mention this to Wolf...would be great for walking her as it gets cooler, LOL I know that there are venomous spiders (I started to type 'poisonous' but the Hive has taught me better :lol:) here, but no clue as to what bit me. Allergic reaction is def part of it though, b/c it's not as painful and itchy w/the benadryl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnitWit Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Too bad they don't make those items in doggy size. :lol: I'm glad you are feeling better already. That is definitely a good sign! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 I was going to send in the mounties. Once I woke up. But I see that you've made it unnecessary. Spoil sport. Some of those mounties are pretty cute! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impish Posted July 25, 2012 Author Share Posted July 25, 2012 Don't worry, Lara, not only was the puppy a concern, but so was dragging all the kids along to the ER. Thankfully, Diva can babysit, plus I called a neighbour, and she had the Littles over to play for several hrs. The rash seems to not have spread, or at least if it has, it's not dramatically noticable. And way faded from yesterday, so I'm guessing a good chunk of it was allergic reaction...so we know it's not a mosquito bite. oh, funny thing...I'd brought along a library book, and was obvious I'd be finished it long before I was done there. Wolf was going on a coffee run, and asked about picking me up a new book. I said sure. He came back w/Fifty Shades of Grey. :001_huh::lol: "Heard you mention this...do you have any idea what it's about? I flipped it open and read a page...Whoa." Ummm...I only knew anything about it from what I've seen talked about online, never even bothered to read any reviews, etc. :lol: The RN recognized it and started gushing about it. Oh my!

Impish Posted July 25, 2012 Author Share Posted July 25, 2012 I really want to thank everyone who was concerned about me. I honestly find it startling, and humbling, that folks were concerned.
