Okay, total lie. I was watering the dogs in the dark and got bit by a copperhead Wednesday. No awesome battle, fabulous struggle or heroics involved. He bit me for no reason and ran off like an assassin. Unlike my first bite years ago, this time the snake actually injected venom. I'll be honest with you people, this is the most painful ordeal I've ever been through.
While antivenom was unnecessary (gratefully, the price is over 50,000 an IV bag of CroFab), I had hours in the ER to monitor the bite then days of excruciating pain as the venom is working its way through my system. I'd take labour pains to this any day. I'm pretty exhausted with it.
So I apologize I'm not here, but a few more days I'll crawl home. Miss you all! Be good, but not good good it's boring!
