Back for a Minute

So, I've been feeling a bit under the weather lately, and couldn't figure out what it was. I made an appointment with my OBGYN, since it's been four years since my last visit, just to see what the deal was. Apparently, I have a raging urinary infection. Great! I feel like someone is scraping my insides with a fork. Oh, but I'm not the only one in pain. Oh no. NHP got bit on his thigh by a brown recluse and now his whole leg is swollen and red. The part that was actually bitten has now turned black and he has a hole in his leg. On top of that, the poison has apparently spread through his body, because more bumps have popped up on his hand and the back of his leg. He has been taking meds and trying to get rest, but I am really worried about it. So, that's been my life for the past week or so. They just don't make folks like they use to.
