It has been 9 weeks and two days.

I took a pic last night of the wound area when changing dressing. As you can see, there is a long way to go. Believe it or not, it looks 100 times better than it did after the first surgery. I find it unbelievable that Sherri could recover from donating a kidney to our then 18 year old last summer and be back ready to mow the lawn in four weeks, but not be close to recovery 9+ weeks after a brown recluse bite.

We continue to catch spiders from time to time in our traps. They are really bad in Oklahoma this year after a very mild winter and above average rainfall in spring and summer.

It is hard to get a size perspective from these photos, but I can't get a good pic without showing off her hoo hoo or magnificent butt, so I have to crop it down. The wound was about 8 x 5, and is down to about 6 x 3 inches on her left hip.

If you live in the area indicating brown recluse habitat, you need to get some traps. The more spiders in the house, the more likely you are to get bitten.
