Unbearable Pain - a photo on Flickriver

Unbearable Pain

            Spider bite followed by massive strep infection.  Likely received arachnid bite while visiting a timber rattlesnake cave (den) a couple weeks prior in NY.  I was in the hospital for the better part of a week, pumped full of iv antibiotics and as the image above shows, I needed surgery to remove infected/necrotic tissue (the white strands are my tendons).  At the time of this writing I am home, but hooked up to a portable VAC machine to help granulate open wound.  Long recovery awaits, but I shouldn't experience any long term debilitating effects.   --Unfortunately this is a cell phone pic, so image quality is lacking.  I didn't think of bringing my DSLR when I was admitted to the hospital!
