The adventure of my spider bite all started on Thursday when my friends Sheri, Erin and I went blueberry picking. I was reaching in for a very large bunch of blueberries and felt a "zing" to my finger and look down to find a spider in my blueberry bucket. Figuring the spider was the culprit to my pain I got it out of my bucket and took care of the little sucker the only way a tennis shoe can. It really did not hurt more than a really bad misquote bite and as the day progress you could not even see where the little guy had bitten me. We left for the lake early the next morning and I noticed that my finger was a little swollen and as the day went on the swelling just kept getting worse. We stopped in at a Wal-Mart and the pharmacist said to take some Benadryle and that should take care of it. I woke up in the night with numbness in my finger and now into my hand by morning my hand and other fingers were swollen too. We made a trip to the ER into the hospital of Cook, Minnesota (population 600). They diagnosed that I did in fact have a spider bite and it was infected. They gave me some antibiotics and sent me on my way. What a way to start my vacation.

the most memorable vacations always start with a trip to the ER.
