I was bit by a preying mantis (a baby one at that) last summer and my whole hand swelled up.

Really keep an eye on bites on your hands since the "junk" from a bite travels through your system and heart quickly. If you get any lines radiating out from the sting/bites you should visit a doc.

It's different, but was once bitten by my cat on the hands and waited until morning (10 hrs) when I woke up with swollen hands. Hospital and doc were pissed and concerned that I waited. Ended up on IV antibiotics and pills for a week. In any case don't ignore if the hand stays swollen.

Hope you feel better soon.

Watching the markets tank on the genius plans to hit Iran, covert action to topple another government, Pakistan is festering with a leadership crisis, Afghanistan is a lost cause, oil is heading to 170-200, and gold is going to 1300 by year's end, Kuwait is drafting contingency plans for closure of the Hormuz straits, Iraq renegged on the no bid contracts to US oil companies. Oh, and inflation is just getting started. Those cut taxes and borrow policies sure are working great. Thanks for the unfolding nightmare. Whatever happened to the brilliant color coded terror alert Faux Noise Channel was so fond of? Maybe they'll dust that off and bring it back for entertainment value. Yeah, it's quite a theater of the absurd these days. On the bright side, great weather in the midatlantic today.

So should I be panning for gold right now?

Pretty soon We can all make popcorn before the nightly news!

Just finished seeing a couple of vacation week emergency patients in the office, now it's off to whack a small, white ball around for 18 holes! :)

Eating a bit of lunch (leftover homemade baked mac & cheese) before I hop in the shower. 5K training went well this morning. Ran for 16 minutes straight! :D Before that, the most I did was 8 min straight so I'm definitely improving.
