Jinni

For those of you wondering and asking what was up with [livejournal.com profile] tthjinni, here's the scoop:

She got bit on the leg by a spider. They now suspect it was a brown recluse. She's all right, but in a lot of pain. She can't really sit up and is not supposed to put pressure on her leg, so I'll keep anyone posted on how she's doing. She isn't ignoring anyone. She's just dealing with RL. Please send good thoughts and healing her way. Leave any messages here. I'll pass them on. :)

That sucks... but at least she'll be okay, right? I hope she feels well soon, and it makes total sense that she's not doing the online thing right now.

She should be fine. Brown Recluse venom is a local deal. It spreads through the tissues adjacent to the bite and hurts like a sonofabiscuit.

She'll have a gnarly scar when it heals up, but won't otherwise be worse for wear

Thanks for the info! There was a big deal in my hometown a while back about a baby that was killed by one of those, but obviously babies are more vulnerable. It's good to know that she'll be okay. =]

Eep! That is not good! :( Please tell her that I'm thinking about her and sending good vibes her way. I had a friend in high school that got bit in the leg by a brown recluse. She was in the hospital for awhile, but she's as good as new now!

Let me know if there is anything that I can do.

And thank you, Echo, for keeping us all posted. I greatly appreciate it.

Oh my. That's really scary. I wish her a speedy recovery.

ooh...

Brown Recluse...

Nasty.

At least her leg won't fall off. She'll have a pretty gnarly scar, though. She can tell people that's where she got shot in that gang war. :D

Wow, thanks for letting us know. I got bit 2x a couple years ago and had an allergic reaction. I can certainly empathize. Hope she gets a lot of rest and stays off that leg - follow Dr's orders!

You know the last line in that rhyme is "Ride a firetruck" right?

::snort:: yes. Yes it is.

Let her know that I hope she gets better and that it's just too bad it wasn't a radioactive spider. Cuz...you know...then she would at least have super powers and stuff when it was all over. :(

oh i shall send many good thoughts her way. thanks for the update.

Ouch, that doesn't sound very nice. Not nice at all. I hope it heals quickly.

[identity profile] emony2.livejournal.com 2007-08-16 07:50 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks, Echo.

That sounds pretty crappy. Let her know that I'm thinking of her and I hope she gets better soon.

Well doesn't *that* just blow goats?

I was bitten by one years back and while it does indeed suck, she should be fine with a little time.

Give her a hug for me, 'kay?

[identity profile] txteva.livejournal.com 2007-08-16 03:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Sending hugs and empathy vibes (no spider bites here but shingles really sucks too)... I've prescribed myself laptop and lots of tvlinks reruns of fave tv shows. Oh and party ring biscuits cause its the only way i can make myself take tables!)
