Spider bite

Hey y'all. I'm just going to do a short update. Monday they told us that they didn't expect Dad to live more than 2 more weeks. The weather here was PERFECT for a few days. It was not too hot or too cold. I'm serious the only word for it was perfect. One more thing, when Dad was at hospice this last time, my bro and I took turns staying up with him at night. If we didn't they wouldn't let him go outside and that is where he likes to be. So anyway I was outside with him one night and we were dozing together. Well, something bit me. It hurt! Really bad! I thought at first it was a mosquito cuz I didn't see anything. It hurt so bad though that I couldn't go back to dozing for awhile. Then periodically it woke me up cuz it hurt so bad. Well in the morning I didn't think much about it, except that it was a big mosquito or that he'd gotten a lot of blood. lol. Then later in the day I noticed my finger was swelling a bit and was real red. Upon further inspection I saw two tiny holes about a huge spider's mouth apart! I tried to take pics of it to put up but they all came out blurry. But for a rough measurement they are about half the length of my pinkie nail apart! I'm serious! It hurt for several days afterwards too. Spiders for some reason love to bite me. I get bit by them all the time. But this was the first time I was bit by one that actually woke me up when he bit me cuz it hurt so bad. Normally when I get bit by spiders they just look like a mosquito bite with a pus center in the middle of them and itch like crazy. Sometimes little red streaks out from the bite. This bite was different. My finger hurt like all get out, swelled up, and it did itch. I hate spiders! Spiders love me! I wonder if I smell good to them or something. Mosquito's love me too! Anyhow this is way longer than I planned, but...oh well.
