Hello everyone!

In Sept, I got bit in the back by a Brown Recluse spider. I ended up in the ER after collapsing at work. it resulted in them having to remove most of my back. This also lost me the use of my hands. My right hand is now mostly functional but I still need to work on my left as things heal.

Thanks, Dan/Isolder74

HOLY SHIT!

necrosis and infection. ouch! I almost died

I guess because it was on your back you didn't SEE what was going on?

Ouch. I'm guessing the necrosis happened under the skin first to avoid someone else noticing it? (like a significant other?)

Well that's a tough break. I'm sorry that gaopened.

Best wishes for as complete a recovery as possible.

NOPE. I've avoided looking at the photos of my back.

Mostly, on the surface it was just a red spot.
