A few days before our wedding anniversary Graham had been saying that he had been bitten and had pain in his left arm...it started off as two puncture marks and throughout the week had gone very red from his wrist to his elbow and was extremely painful. On our wedding anniversary in the afternoon he decided to go to the doctors. She saw it and said it was a White Tip Spider Bite...and immediately gave him some IV antibiotics, wrote him a prescription and said that he would have to go to the Napier Medical Centre every 12 hours over the weekend to continue the course and that they would evaluate it on Monday Morning. So Saturday AM/PM, Sunday AM/PM and Monday AM we were back and fourth to the medical centre. Graham felt quite 'knocked off' by bite and medication.
We could see an improvement by Sunday and when he went back to the doctors Monday morning they gave him his last IV shot and put him on oral anti biotics for a week! Thank goodness,swelling has now gone as has the pain...so hopefully it is all sorted!
